Give some more details about where you got it and the power requirements.

But……
If you’re willing to piece things together you can actually build one at a considerably smaller expense. For example:
$100 - Coherent 808nm 12W BURNING LASER DIODE FAP COHERENT
$30 - Thermoelectric Laser Diode Cooler & TEC Driver 30A
$40 - Vicor 5VDC 40A PSU
$75 - Fiber coupler, Red aiming diode, and safety shutter assembly
I’m still searching for a good deal on a driver for the laser.
