First off all, I am a total newbie and know little about laser pointers, although I did just spend about two hours reading these forums and learned a lot from that.
But I'd like to know what a good green laser pointer would be for around $40 - $60. I assume it won't be too powerful, which is fine, but I just want one that is well-made, reliable, long-lasting, and as powerful as possible for that price and the other factors taken into consideration.
I see that there are many green laser pointers listed on ebay and many of those are in this price range. Do you think ebay is a good place to buy one to save a little money or am I better off going with one of the specialty sites often referenced here?
I've always thought that lasers were very cool and it was a nice surprise to find this site where so many of you are into them so heavily and know so much about them. I just have a few little key chain red laser pointers that I got off ebay and enjoy those, but would like to get a green on.
I see that my little red one says <1mW which is probably about as weak as they get, but it still works great. So I bet a green one would be really bright and fun to play with. I didn't even know that some were illegal to use outdoors, so I'll have to read up on that more.
Well, I appreciate any recommendations that anyone could make. Thanks! Tony
