It's not a secret that lasers like these are regulated in some countries. The buyer has the responsibility to check their local laws, if they order to a country where it's illegal, that's their risk.
That being said, I don't ship from a country known to export lasers, I mark the lasers as flashlights, they look like flashlights (and technically lasers are a kind of flashlight, portable light source), and I offer to ship the tailcap and batteries in a separate package to prevent customs from testing it if they actually do inspect the package. So if someone does order a product despite the legal status in their particular country, the chances of customs busting the package are very slim. And even if they DO bust the package, I'm pretty sure that person won't get in any legal trouble, they'd just return the package to sender. At least that's what my country does to gray-area items.

I see you added listings for currently out of stock items. Now I can drool over what I want until you have it back in! I really like the blue one. Hope you get more in soon!

I really feel that Grix's laser shop fills a very lucrative niche in the bitcoin marketplace. Having lurked in this thread, I am almost jealous that I didn't come up with it first. (Not that I could have even done it with my skill-set...) Business inquiries aside, I'd just like to say that I want to see this shop fly. And help bump the shit out of this thread so people see it...

Thanks for the support, guys, I really appreciate it! I'm still waiting for parts for various lasers including two blue ones. But remember, I still got a sweet red and violet one in stock, no love for them? I should get a news module or something installed so I can easily show the status on incoming items on the store.

I can build one, but I'll need all the matter in the local cluster...

Some updates:
One of my major suppliers have closed their business, so I'll have a little delay on the new blue's. I should have enough parts to make one of them any day now, but the other will be at least another week away.
Also, a new red diode seem to have been discovered out of nowhere. Testing is being done, but if we're lucky we will be able to see ~400 mW of 660nm red for pretty cheap ( like $90 ). A lot of exciting stuff happening in the laser scene now!

Awesome. I will be glad to see something more around 100$. It's a little more in my price range. Still trying to convince myself I need the sexy blue one but I'm not sure I'll have the bitcoins in time. Sorry to hear about your supplier and as always good luck! I know a lot of us want you to succeed seeing as how narrow yet awesome a market you serve.

Wow nice, what product might that have been initially designed for?

Wow nice, what product might that have been initially designed for? I don't know.. The diode wasn't extracted from a device, but someone got it directly from a supplier/manufacturer which he hasn't named yet. It's possible it would be used in very high speed DVD recorders or pico video projectors.

How about these: http://www.amazing1.com/lasers.htmI love that site, it has all the plans available for purchase, and it's good info. If you are into glassblowing, you could create your own glass-tube carbon dioxide laser that has an invisible beam. It also burns through chunks of wood and thin metal. HOLY SHIT A FUCKING HANDHELD YELLOW ONE?!?!! BUY BUY BUY BUY MUST BUY WITH BITCOINS MUST BUY YELLOW HANDHELD LEGAL LAZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yellow lasers cost hundreds of dollars for a few milliwatts.

Sorry. I figured, while lasers for bitcoin is niche enough, parts for lasers for bitcoin would just be downright impossible to run a shop with
