How much money worth of lasers do you own?

[jasonck08]

I just own a KD 50mw Green Cr2 laser that cost me about $25. Then I have a AA Red 5mw, that I purchased almost 10 years ago at Costco. I'd imagine some of you guys have $1000's worth of lasers!

uh I own about $700 worth :-[ not too big of a collection :-/ I probably have spent just over a grand so far on lasers in the last year and a half

If we are talking about what they cost when they were new... easily hundreds of thousands

I think since joining this forum about a year ago I've easily spent over $1000 dollars on laser parts, LD's, hosts, circuits etc..

$200. One laser. I've spent, maybe, $100 more than that, though; I failed building a blu-ray.
Nothing, compared to most people here though.
I plan to buy a dilda and a cheap greenie in the future, and maybe make a violet and a 22x red.
Then an RPL. And maybe some high powered blue modules...some scanpro's...moar modules...argon...carbon dioxide...

$2,000 on one order of 803t's in December alone

 

[Fotons]

H'mm, I'd say about $600 with my RPL 165 and my Nove X50 My red kitty laser doesn't count

 

[Dr.LaSeR]

i have spent over $2200 on lasers in less than 1 year

 

[rocketparrotlet]

I have spent about $220 on lasers and laser supplies. I currently own about $170 worth of it (my greenie broke, and my Aixiz order from 28 days ago still hasn't gotten here!)

In the past 5 months I've built 10 lasers, gave 3 away, sold one, still own 6. (Gotta have a spare for each color in case I lose a diode/module ) Oh, and also I built 2 spirographs.

As to value, IDK. Depending on the host/color/driver they cost about $80 each to build, time not included. But honestly for me, the fun is more in the building.

cheers,

Same for me, if it was cost new it would be somewhere in the thousands easily   Although, I've spent about £300

[andy_con]

probably £10,000 including my scanners and bits to go with them
