    Help with listing these or selling these mirrors and laser

    Hey guys I need help with how to list this on ebay or how to sell these items. I dont want to see them go to waste.
    These are mirrors and laser I got out of a Perkin Elmer 1600 FTIR Perkin Elmer FTIR Perkin Elmer FT-IR 1650.
    Im not sure if the laser works afraid to power it up, not good with electricity.
    But I need help on how to get rid of these mirrors and laser. If I can get rid of them on here or ebay doesnt matter to me. Not sure how to list them. The laser is hydrogen-neon laser.
    Here is the image gallery of the items.

    I would list those with wording geared towards the steampunk crowd. I could see lots of uses in that art genre.

    Have you done a good search on ebay yet? I see an id plate on what I suspect is the laser. Make certain to search active, completed and sold listing. If any have sold this is where I would take my lead on how to best write your listing. Good luck, Mike

    Mirrors used in laser applications have the reflective coating on the surface of the substrate, so you want to handle them with care to avoid scratching the surface.

    You might also inspect them for surface pitting, often the mirror surface becomes pitted form repeated hits from the laser beam hitting the same spot.
