Let the chips fall where they may.
I have no idea why "Wicked Lazers" is allowed to sell hand-held 1W (Class 4) lazers. These things are much brighter than 60W bulbs that radiate in all directions: mainly in the IR spectrum.

There is no way to use them safely. Such powerful lazers are supposed to have an interlock that shuts off the beam if the door of the room (it is permanently installed in) is opened.

I informed the local police about the mere existence of such powerful hand-held lazers. Unfortunately, pilots of the police helicopter can not easily defend themselves against such a lazer because they would have to know ahead of time what colour is being used (If you block red, green, blue and IR for good measure, you have a blind-fold).

Shameless plug: in case anyone want to buy lasers that actually deliver on their specs, see my sig Smiley

I wish I had discovered this thread earlier, I could have told you from the beginning that this was an obvious scam. Green lasers at 2000mW are extremely advanced pieces of technology, it is doubtful it would even be possible to make them handheld, let alone in a pointer size running on regular batteries. This thread reads like someone claiming to sell a 1000 horsepower luxury car without any information for $500. It's just not gonna happen. Unfortunately it is common for many laser sellers to lie about powers as many customers couldn't tell the difference between different power levels due to lack of comparisons or power meters.


I have a question about the glasses you sell on your website. Are they just sort of generic ebay/china glasses? It does say OD of 2+ (which is not that high anyway) but how could this be verified?

Yes, they are pretty cheap non-certified glasses. I have measured the OD myself, so I am confident they are safe for hobbyists with the lasers I sell. If you prefer professional glasses, I recommend these: https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/laser-safety

Yeah I'm going to get an eagle pair for myself, but I can't be buying 4 pairs of $50 glasses so I need some cheaper pairs for spectators/anyone else. I will probably purchase from you, thanks.

@ DebitMe - you forgot to checkmark the box "This rating is negative", so you actually gave him positive trade feedback. Might want to change that, although I don't think it'll matter too much at this point.

So the images were fake eh? They looked cool and highly effective. (before the op edit the topic and delete all the images and text). People should escrow with this kind of high risk items.

He had no images of the actual laser. If you read through the thread, picture and video was requested of the actual laser he is selling, and he couldn't provide it.

I wonder if his other posts were scams too.. seems weird to scam over a $7 product. Maybe he was doing micro-scams? Lol idk, but here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7899013

Ha, a fitting end to the thread.

He is a scammer, my package arrived and it was some rinky dink $5 laser pointer.  Do not do any business with him.  Just glad he didn't get much out of me, hopefully he didn't get anything from anyone else.
Hope you saved the packaging. There should be an address from the sender (which is probably him), and if really another company that sent it, at least you can try to call the company to request more info on who requested the package to be sent.

It's been drop shipped from whatever cheap Chinese he ordered it from, the sender's address is of no use.

I don't know how to thank you man, but in the process of warning me of the dangers of a class 4 laser you also just saved me a shit ton of bitcoin. Also, I purchased a 100mW 520nm (not a DPSS laser) in a 501b host off blord on laserpointerforums in addition to eye protection. Excited for that to come in. He accepts bitcoin, so if anyone is interested you should contact him on laserpointerforums.com Smiley Real nice dude to work with (and he has 1000mW+ blue lasers if anyone absoultely must have one)

OUCH. I kinda expected this to be the case, after see so many red flags. You should have requested for him to ship first, or go through escrow. Scammers will never do escrow.

I'm sorry you lost your money man. Sad Thanks for being the genuine pig though.

Can you post picture of laser to see what reality is to what OP was selling?

Yeah hope you get actually get the package. Your transaction will make or break him as being legit or not once you confirm. I was on the verge of getting one, but I didn't want to be the guinea pig.

I mean, even if he gets it we should avoid campsis at all costs. He ignored me when I asked him about escrow.

I do have a tracking number from China.  EMS said it was shipped to Chicago Sort Facility.  Does anyone know if its possible to track packages after they have left EMS and gotten to the states?

EDIT:  I can't decide if I was scammed or not.  His actions are very sketchy to say the least.  The 2 "customers' who left feedback are definitely suspect, but if he is a scammer, he isn't very good as he is selling under $10 equipment besides the lasers.  It did seem fishy to me though that he messaged me a little while after I got the shipping number and said he had 3 more if I wanted another, I said possibly if he would hold that price for me I would after I got this one, but he never responded, then the next day I asked if he still had it (just fishing for info, wasn't going to give more money until I at least got this one), and still didn't get a reply.  So if he is scamming, he doesn't seem to be very good at it.  IDK, it just baffles me, hopefully a laser will arrive, I am split about 50/50 on whether it will or not.

I really hope you get it man, that's quite a bit of money to just lose like that. :/ Campsis's actions just seemed shady all around, but I agree, he was selling things like pepper spray and such. Seems silly to scam over that.

Just to end it with the lack of information. Just zero, except the price.

Well, he did have the original thread with pictures/info/things of that sort, he just edited it after the accusations.
