Are you looking to sell the 500mw diode dave?

[DTR]

And they have in stock?

I would be interested if they have stock as well. The sources I have been asking keep saying they will be available next month for the last eight months and they never seem to come.

Tather, the opposite.. Looking to buy

HAHAHA, Hens teeth, that's a new one.

Its strange just a few have been around.

I see O-Like has now removed them from their site, along with the "sold-out" tag that's been there for months. Yeah, seems like just a lucky few people got them when they were briefly available. It is strange . Maybe there was a problem with them.

or maybe they were too good and the big corps demanded their withdrawal (your friendly conspiracy theorist )

I was just wondering exactly that, or at least maybe the distribution channels getting restricted so the diodes don't fall into balloon poppers hands and cause bad press for the product. Or the demand for a new Video projector launched this month has eaten up demand and stocks.

haha, indeed this diode has become the holy grail in more ways than one.

Yeah, that diode together with the optical solutions here on the grail thread would be the grail's grail

Just found these for free lol ($0.00)
