So I finally started going through some stuff as most know I have a ridiculous amount of lasers that sit in cases. I'm not going to build anymore until I have the funds in hand as I've been using savings.
I know well what some people would like me to sell but I have no plans on selling those units at least for now. I'm going to start off with some units that I have either purchased or built or modified. They are going to have simple descriptions but if someone needs specific information or another pic let me know. All the 532nm builds were made with Fasttech modules with most being modified for more output. Some took quite a bit of work and some didn't. Of course none have IR filters and all my lasers are output labeled with the maximum I saw on my Ophir. Remember that 532nm lasers are finicky things and do some weird stuff:)
Anyways, here is what I have so far and depending on how these sell I may keep adding things but for now here ya go:
These are all 532nm. From left to right they are 88 to 25mW and I'm asking $15.00 each plus $6.80 priority mail shipping so $21.80 to start but each one added will not increase the shipping cost so anymore that you add will only cost $12 each so if you bought 3 the cost would be $45.80.
You can use them as is, take them apart or whatever you want. Whatever batteries are in them come with them.

All the rest here you add $6.80 for shipping to the prices but only once so anything else purchased doesn't add more shipping cost.
This is another Fasttech module built into a small battery box with switch at 85mW. $20

Next up is 2 Fasttech 532nm modules in MXDL hosts running with a single 10440 at 54 and 50mW. $25
![]()
3 single AAA units at 58, 55 and 53mW with 2 of them in smaller MXDL hosts and the other in a Swiss+Tech host and 2 have removable star caps. $30
![]()
2 405nm pen lasers that I modified to be focus-able that will light matches without them being colored black. 63 and 52mW $25
![]()
A 75 and 40mW 405nm lasers that are focusable (one I modified and the other came that way) and yes even the 40mW one will light a match without it being colored black: $25
![]()
3 650/660nm focusable lasers. The 121mW one I made focusable and the 54 and 34mW ones came that way. The 54 and 34mW ones need the matches colored black to light. The 121mW will light matches immediately of course. $25
![]()
650nm Pman focusable laser 108mW $20
![]()
255mW LPC-826 build with a 532nm driver and acrylic lens (300mW with a G2) running off of 2 LiFePO4 (10440 size batteries) that can also use 2 10440 cells if you want and will burn through a black cd case in about 2 seconds if you get the focus exactly right. $35. If you want 2 10440 instead it will cost another $10.

I would just like to point out that there are some members here that have a pen that I made focusable that can attest that it's pretty neat to have one that looks like any other cheap one but has the hidden feature of being focusable and can light matches. Please take it easy when focusing as it is possible for the epoxy to break on the focusing adapter.
You MUST have at least 10 positive REPs, be at least 18 and have appropriate glasses plus pay by paypal preferably friends/family. Everyone that has been here for anytime will attest to my character. Also remember that there is no warranty on inexpensive units like this as anything can go wrong at any time. If someone not in CONUS really wants any obviously you will need to cover the shipping costs. I will not ship any way cheaper than small box priority mail as I've never had an issue with it and you get tracking for $6.80. If you buy more than will fit in a small box then I will ship in a medium box and cover the cost myself since you are buying so many.
Please be careful and have fun;)

EDIT:
I have 4 sale (2) M140 (445nm) lasers at 2.4W (G2 rated) one using an x-drive at 1.8A and the other an SXD-V3 at 1.8A both with 3 element lenses. They use those 3 AAA battery holders so they take (2) 10440 with a spacer for full output. The body is about an inch wide (slightly wider in front) and about 5" long including the lens. They come with a nylon sheath with belt loop.
Now you can also use (3) 10440 too for more run time according to Jordan who posted this in a discussion about drivers (and yes I tested them with 3 cells too):
http://laserpointerforums.com/f39/x-...t-88589-7.html
"Both the X-drive and SXD can handle up to 16V input. Driving a 445nm load you need at least 6V with the X-drive and 6.5V with the SXD. On the 1.8A and 2.4A X-drive if you don't plan to sink them and want to keep the 120 second(1.8A) 90 second(2.4A) on 30 off duty cycle you would want to stay under 9V as you go over that the duty cycle of the unsinked drivers go down. If you sink the driver this does not matter you can run the driver continuously at any current with up to 16V. Still I do think staying around 12V or under is best as the higher the difference between the load and the input voltage the more heat you create that your build has to deal with."
As far as cycle goes the front of the sink was warm after 1 minute so lets say 1 minute on 1 minute off although my guess is I'm being conservative.
With the 3 element lens they output about 1.9W. The x-drive one will output about 250mW with a single battery and an 18490 would work with a small magnet. You could even run it with 3 AAA for just over 500mW. The SXD-V3 will a single cell will output under 5mW, 50mW with 3 AAA. Like I said, these are the 3 element outputs so a G2 should be about 1/3rd higher.

$95 per unit paypal friends/family which includes the $6.80 USPS small box priority mail with tracking. If you want a G2 lens instead it's $20 more or $25 more if you want both lenses.
they don't come with 10440 batteries although I will include (3) new alkaline AAA with them. I highly recommend Efest button cell 10440 which you can purchase here. The battery holders NEED the batteries to have the button cells to make contact properly:

If you don't want to go the Ebay route talk to me in a PM about it.
One last unit is a 405nm that I had purchased from someone else here at some point. It includes a 3 element lens and outputs over 500mW or about 650mW with a G2. Takes a single 18490/500 button cell. The heat-sink looks OK but it isn't all smooth and shined up. The pus is it has a side button.
$60 includes the shipping and battery.
