UPDATED 24 April 2013 (see below)
This group buy appears to be directly from an OEM manufacturer. I located this host and began making inquiries and Dan Zhu of Long Shining Lasers (lslaserpointer.com) is prepared to offer the following rifle host with all the goodies.
Pricing (by color and power):
Blue 445nm
Green DPSS 532nm
Red 635nm
BLP-2500 Blue Laser Pointer
Shipping Costs:
Direct Ship DHL Worldwide, 30USD 1st unit, +8USD for each additional unit.
Africa pays higher, 58USD 1st unit, +30USD for each additional unit.
We are still discussing payment details. I'll keep you posted. Is any one interested in these? These prices seem pretty low. The seller claims they will meet or exceed spec. What do you guys think?

UPDATE 24 April 2013
The hurdle of the first order is about to pass. I’ve taken it upon myself to pull together an order that enables me to LPM and review the items shipped by the seller. Some have expressed interest in joining this first and possibly risky round of the group buy. The seller wanted to raise the prices by 10% because the order was smaller than I originally suggested it might be. After a few exchanges, I convinced him it was important to honor the initial prices, so things are looking good. But Dan reserves the right to raise prices in future rounds. I’m not sure I like that, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
I don’t imagine the seller will complain if I want to expand my order. To express interest in round #1, make a post in this thread and tell us what you want. For those expressing interest in round #1, if you’re willing to pay $8 more for shipping (per unit), I can have all the units shipped to me, where I can LPM and review their quality. Once reviewed, I can reship the item(s) directly to the round #1 buyer(s). But the reship idea may only apply to shipments within the U.S. I can only reship to international buyers if I’m not losing money in the deal.
I am eager to get this order placed. Round #1 closes in a week, next Wednesday on 01 May 2013 at 00:00 Pacific Time (GMT-0800).
For those willing to wait for round #2, stays tuned and let’s see where this goes.
