I'll just cut right to the chase....There is a wedding DJ (I assume that's what he is) trying to rent out his 4 X 8 watt lasers on Craigslist. I wouldn't even know about it, but he has been pretty heavily spamming craigslist lately (he runs about a dozen identical ads simultaneously, all the flagging in the world by me & my colleagues doesn't seem to change that) so I've been paying attention. You can see one of his ads HERE (please note that this guy is willing to bring out all of his equipment, including his 4 8 watt lasers for a maximum price of $795). If this was just some ass-clown crowd scanning with a pair of 6 watt lasers at a rave for $500, I probably wouldn't go farther than bitching (That guys name is Mark), but 32 watts of lasers at a wedding is STUPID! By the way, if you do a google search you'll find the same model lasers that he is renting for sale on ebay. So, I did what anyone would do, and responded to his CL add, asking for his variance #. The conversation went like this:
Me: Hi,
I might be interested in your lasers, please provide me with your CDRH variance number.

He clearly didn't understand the question, so I am doubtful that he will be following proper laser safety procedures; what can I do??
Cheers,
