I did a little research on these point a few months ago

At groups.google.com, you can search sci.astro.amateur for "green laser
pointer".  They had recommendations on where to buy.  One I looked at is:

    DeHarpporte Trading Company (www.laserpointer.net)

These are not cheap items.  They range from $120 to $200+.  A group buy is
probably the best way to get the lower prices.
