incredibly cheap prices on laser diodes, if you're willing to buy 100 at a time.
(for example, surplus transistor-like raw laser diodes for under $20 each
-- once I saw surplus $5 each).
http://www.mi-lasers.com/news/newshome.html
$10.00 for shipping, minimum C.O.D. order is $30.00
Minimum order for net terms is $150.00

some cheap surplus equipment -- what appears to be a CD assembly,
including the laser diode and motor and focusing lens, for $20.
