In summary, eBay is selling red laser modules for .10 cents, but they're probably factory seconds and have some stupid blemish on them.

$.10. I'm silly.

I wonder why stuff like this happens. Why are these things sold so cheaply. I bought a 10 pack of red laser modules a year or so ago and they all worked and paid like $2 out of some place in hong kong on ebay. Then again I didn't really use them much.

If you're wondering, these things typically go for around $20-$40. It's really one of those "I can imagine various things I'd want to play around with using one of these, but I don't really want to plunk down $40" and then BOOM, eBay is like "hai baybay, want some sexah $.10 auction action? DO MEH" and I DID IT. I'm so WIN.

I found them for 10 dollars online, still a big difference!

The auction starts at $0.10, but I am sure it won't sell for that. The rest of them listed are going for around 7-15 dollars. I think it's just to get the sellers name at the top of a search as well as start a lucrative auction probably with a reserve.

I already bought it at $.10. It's a done deal. THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST.

I win at life.

I need to reignite this thread.

So seriously, how come I find so many cheap cheap cheap things coming out of hong kong? I asked someone who kinda supported what I figured; they're probably factory seconds and have some stupid blemish on them or maybe I just happened to get a product that no one else really was looking at and the seller thought people would bid it up. *Shrug*.
