Yeah, that's BeamQ for you.

Another source just popped up, o-like!
OSRAM PLT5488 488nm 60MW Navy blue laser diode /M feet/ 5.6mm di [ol-488-1.2] - $545.00 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
20 units in stock, $545usd per pc
This is the cheapest, commercially available price i've seen. next would be the ebay sellers @~900usd.
Not sure how Joeys going on the GB?
Hey jnrpop,
I just clicked on that link and seems like o-like isn't stocking them anymore. The webpage wouldn't even load up! Slowly but surely these diodes are going down in price however :yh:

They are still listed as available on the O-like site @ $545.00 here--3rd one down in the list: 465nm-488nm laser : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
Doubt they will ever go much lower in price --no demand.
Would guess the novelty low power laser pointer market is very small/not significant business-wise.
For pointer use how many "blue" diodes are available already and for relatively reasonable prices?
The real market for 488nm is biomedical applications--fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry
hap - make sure you request the desktop site on your phone. Their mobile site is broken.
I think if they get them for this price, somebody else will go a bit lower sometime soon. I vote to pass on o-like and wait.
