Has anyone gotten this?

an Alibaba seller seems to have fat-fingered some diode prices in. According to the list price, they're selling 1W 520nm diodes for 50 cents a piece. that's about 0.27% of their normal price (estimated at 185$).:wtf:. I've sent in an inquiry for 100 of these diodes for 50$, Just wondering if anyone else has successfully taken advantage of this deal.

I'm excited to see what becomes of this.

You can see the mistake here.

I have a response from them:

Hi Brice,

This is Song from Dongguan Lanji Photoelectricity Co., Ltd.

Thank you so much for your inquiry about our green laser diode .

But I am very sorry that 0.5$/pc only is for attracting customers.

And the real price for that Nichia NDG7K75T diode is EXW USD148/pc for 100pcs .

Please checked the attached datasheet of that laser diode .


Any other questions please do not hesitate to let me know .

so yeah, it's a bait price. which I would imagine is not appreciated by the alibaba admins.

I see bait prices on Aliexpress every single time I go looking there, because of that I don't even bother to ask the real price.

I used them about three years ago to get some diamond powder and now they send me trash to my email and offers in Spanish to join Facebook. I have tried, with no luck to get them to stop. I avoid them like the plague now.

Techhood had the NDG 7475 for $25 a few months ago, I sent payment and purchased only to get a refund the next day.
