Visible beam green laser pointers - who's got one?

    Does anyone have one of those cheap n nasty green laser pointers with a visible beam?

    Is the beam actually visible? Or are these things just eBay rubbish? Some of them are only $5ish.

    I got mine for $7 off ebay I guess before.
    you can see shady green or a bit blurry one..not like those solid line you see in spy movies though.

    Ahh crap... just what I thought.
    So it's not like a movie where there's a laser alarm system and all the lasers are nice and crisp? :(

    Is it worth buying one for under $10? I've got a couple of old red pointers that were really cheap, and still work perfectly. Is it worth getting a green one?

    Keep in mind I have absolutely no use for it. Other than just having it :p

    same as me, I just collect them :p
    you know what i really want? that working constructor laser pointer that can turn/go for angles and borders and keep going

    now back to green laser,
    no not solid lines..

    see the problem is not having it for test out with online.. I once visited thailand and tested out and i got their "expensive one" for $7-$10 and got medium-close to solid line.. but not sure what ebay sellers are selling and getting from..

    IMO, under that price or near and form ebay, it'll be hard to get a good green one
