Okay, maybe that was sarcasm that I was remembering as fact.  But still.

The lasers are all used.  A new argon laser might go for $10,000 or more new, but you can find them used on ebay for like $400.[/quote]


Yes, quite true, although the two big ones here were bought new in the box, just not from the factory.

So you didn't really spend that much? How much was the D3 then? :-/

I have like maybe $200 worth.I spent less than half of that of course ;D But by WL prices it should be a good $2500

i've spent prob around 500 or 600 since i joined..like 6 months ago.
but are we going by what we spend making them or what we could sell them for?

 

[919jack]

Since lurking this forum about a month ago, and joining, I have spent or committed to spend ~$500. Yikes did I just say that?!? clop, clop, clop, clop...SLAM!

 

[WackBag]

I have spent "One Million Dollars!" as Dr. Evil once said. For me personally...about $1000.00
