There are Two SVBONY stores on AliExpress

[Ratlet]

I'm seeing a lot of people get on board with SVBONY gear (the mighty 3-8mm zoom leading the charge) so I thought I'd drop this little tip for you all.

There are two SVBONY stores on AliExpress and they often have wildly different prices.

The 'normal' store is here: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-svbony.html?spm=a2g0o.home.search.0

However, the 'Choice' store is here: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1102561048?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_aeChoiceSimplified.pcShopHead_2004453271294.0

If the links are broken you can just search for SVBONY and then find an item with choice.  You should be able to go to the store from there (Still called svbony official store)

Whilst they are both separate stores, they are both run by SVBONY.  Don't know why they do it, but it's probably to make it harder to find the 'choice' deals.

Anyway, here's an example, with the well regarded SV202 ED binoculars.

Main store is selling them for £118 whilst the choice store is selling them for £82, a difference of £36!  I bought the 10x42 and the 10x50 earlier this year from the choice store for £150 total.

 

Another example (and one I deeply regret seeing now):  Their UFF eyepieces, which again are well regarded.  Main store has the 10mm up for £49.83 but the choice store has it for £21!  That's less than half price.  The 18mm are listed too for £79/£48 respectively.

The selection isn't always the same between the two stores (the choice store has far less) but it might help people save a bob or two.

Cheers, very helpful. Any idea why the setup is like this? And how does the Svbony 'Microscope' store fit into all this?
