Well, I found the cheapest 589's on the market! Click!

All jokes aside, I really want to buy one anyway for the hell of it. Well worth the price tag, even for a cheap greenie

Edit: Wow. I just looked at their diagram of a "DPSS" system. Apparently laser light comes from the spring... man, I gotta add that to my DPSS chart.

Re: LOL Cheap 589's

Tell you what, you buy a couple (or even just two) and I'll buy one off you at 50% markup. I'm serious - I'll pay shipping my way too, of course.

Edit: min order: 100pcs. Well, if you do buy em, count me in for at least one, haha.

Also sample pieces available, and some pieces are $0.01 each, so you could get 100 for a buck xD I'm really tempted to check these, we need a couple people to get samples, then if these are legit (I HIGHLY doubt it, but still interesting) then it's definitely GB time.
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

Even if they're factory seconds with instability and multimode problems - if you can get them for <$60 it is worth it for even -0.5mW output.

That's what I'm thinking. $10 for 589 is really hard to pass up. Even if like you said, it has multimode issues, or perhaps TEM01/02, or .5mW, I'd still consider it a work of art.
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

Still, keep in mind if these are 589's not every single one is fated to be .5mW with problems. Anyway, once I figure out a "safe" way to order these things I'll mention it.
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

You have already ordered 100 pieces ?
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

No once I get a quote I'll consider it. I'm just waiting for it. Chances are my quote will come in monday based on previous experience with chinese companies.
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

If these are available at a decent price, when you get your quote, I would definitely be interested! 589 is a nice color!
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

Aye, keep us posted on the quotes you all get. If the prices are right I'm sure a great many of us will be interested, even if the quality isn't great.
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

I they turn out to be legit I am interested in one. I am not a huge fan of exotic wavelengths but for a cheap price I think it would be a fine addition to my laser collection :D
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

I sure hope this is true, i love those hosts and yellow has always been on my dream list
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

Same here, yellow's been on my list for a long time. I probably wouldn't have found this without CNI stopping shipping to the US
 
Re: LOL Cheap 589's

Ya, total bummer with CNI. Oh well. I LOVE my 593.5 from LG, I really hope this pans out as I could use a couple cheap 589's.

I like to have one really awesome expensive version of something to appreciate for the artform and finesse and one cheap knock off version that I can take around and abuse.
