I'm trying to find a high-quality laser in the price range of 150$. if anyone has any suggestions please post below. I don't care what color, I just want to see what you guys have bought in that price range.:)
 





For only $50 more I managed to get my Rigel(593.5nm), which is an amazing price! All my other lasers either cost under $50, or over $300 so that's the best I got :)

I just got a 1 watt 445nm blue laser from ebay and it's awesome!
 
Here, this would be a nice starter laser by a member recommended company:

HL 520nm 30mW-500mW

And you might want to go for the 30mW version. (even if the 50mW version is only a few $$ more). The 30mW laser doesn't have enough power to burn but it is plenty enough power to make a visible beam at night. And it is a very high quality product.
Just make sure you use some sort of eye protection for indoor use though. (The laser is 6-30x more powerful than the typical red laser pointers you can buy from Walmart)

You must have some color that you would prefer no ? everyone has a color they like most.
 
Go green to start, it is the most visible wavelength compared to the others, blue isn't bad either if you get a high enough power one and 455nm are cheap for the power output compared to any other laser, but even a 100 milliwatt green has a bright enough beam while with blue or red, you would have to have a much more powerful one to come close to competing with its brightness.
 
If you are interested in a blue (445nm), here is a ~1W aprox. output in a C6 host, that is up for sale by "crazyspaz", in the BST section right now for only $55.
This would make a good 1st laser, for a reasonable price, and you'd still have almost $100 left to buy another wavelength, or a nice pair of safety goggles!

i know he has some lower mw ones. Reading wolverines sig he has an 80mw already so figured blords would be ideal.
