Is o-like trustworthy?

[pastryblob]

I want to buy this laser but I'm not sure if O-like is trustworthy or if their lasers are crap. If i could get some advice on websites that would be greatly appreciated. 50mW transformable green laser/adjustable/burning [OLV50] - $36.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

this thread says they were the best cheap company but they started going down hill a while ago. I don't have any personal experience with them. but that price is good. if you don't mind soldering. I was looking at these earlier.

O-like is OK. Recently they have benn delivering orders very quickly members having good experiences with them. They have been around a long while and products are good entry level products.

I bought a cute 50mw greenie from them a while ago
shipped fast
cust service was nice
I like them and would buy from them again
usually you can find a better price elsewhere (like lazerer.com)

I've heard good and bad about O-Like. Honestly I don't know if it's worth it. I guess they used to be really good but now it seems some people are getting under powered lasers.

I wanted to buy from lazerer but other users said not to. Honestly though I think it would be okay as long as you get the power certificate. Lot of people who ordered with the certificate said it had good power. Although I don't know if any of these people tested it with their own LPM, as it could be wrong and/or fake(although I would hope they wouldn't). People who didn't get the certificate because they had an LPM, said they got under powered lasers. So maybe if you don't get the certificate they send you an under powered just because they think they can and you won't know. The certificate is fairly cheap so I think it's worth it in my opinion.

Again it's up to you, but I don't know if I would do it. It's hard to find a reputable source.

Am I seeing correctly that they are offering a 5mW 515nm penstyle laser?
