Hello,
While I'm a fairly new member here I've been a member at LPF for some time now under the same user name Jmillerdoc. I recently received an unsolicited email from a contact I've made at Mierelight on a deal they are offering right now. I say unsolicited because I was working on a GB last fall that never really got much traction and then the Chinese holidays hit and everything got dropped. Bishan Fang recently contacted me again on a 1.5w analog 532 lab unit he has for $590. In turn I inquired if there would be any additional savings for a quantity purchase shipped to one location in the states and started a feeler GB thread at LPF for this. I received his response today and it turns out he can offer even more savings I would say is considerable. Please refer to the original thread at LPF here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f55/me...ml#post1296840
This is still in it's early stages but my hopes would be to make a commitment to him buy the end of next week and place an order.
I am willing to front the cost on the entire order of up to 10 lasers and would require a nominal 10-15% deposit until I receive them. Once their in my hands the balance would be due and I would re ship CONUS with flat rate USPS (or buyers choice at cost) once I've received final payment. I would be willing to hold the lasers until paid for up to a couple weeks. Non-payers would ultimately lose that portion of their deposit that I would have to cut the price on my cost in order to unload it and recover my money. (I.e. If a $75 deposit was made and I put down $550 of my money then auctioned it off at $500 you would get a $25 refund on your deposit).
The price break down is as follows:
1-4 lasers is $590 per unit shipped to me (so add CONUS re ship fee to that, maybe $20)
5-9 lasers is $550 per unit shipped to me, cost to buyer $550 + CONUS shipping
10+ lasers is $530 per unit shipped to me, etc....
There's probably even more discount to be had for >15 units but I really doubt there's enough interest to get the 10 unit discount so I didn't even ask. If by some strange alignment of stars there were to be 15 buyers, I would go back and ask for more discount as it became apperent this was needed.
I'm probably going to buy 2 myself so to get to the first price break we need three more. On 1-4 lasers the only savings would be on shipping (cost difference in China Air to you vs me to you).
The only value added obtained by me would be totally free shipping, that's by design not plan.
If you are seriously interested I ask that you refer to the original post at LPF for the remainder of the details. Again, I plan to place the order by next week's ending, probably Friday, so please contact me ASAP if you're interested. Although there's no deadline Bishan has given this probably won't last forever and I want to get mine before summer.
I am a very happy repeat Mierelight customer and have high regards for the quality of their products and service. Reviews are available on the forums. In general they are considered a reputable outfit who offers high quality DPSS systems at a high value pricepoint with good/better than average customer service. My previous 532 DPSS 1800m unit was exceptional with rock solid constructions, good beam characteristics, stable output, and flawless functioning. I couldn't have been more pleased. But don't take my word for it, do your homework before you commit. Maybe there's something I missed in doing my research before I bought my last one.
Lastly, the PL forum PM email notification has been inconstant for me so if you don't receive a response to a PM within 24 hours, should send it again or go over to LPF and use their PM or email option to contact me.
Thanks for looking and as always, have a great weekend!
Cheers!
