I have been looking for 8 port 10G SFP+ switch for a long time, while their prices were all like 140-160.

I just found this item listed $140 for a long time. But now there’s an option to apply 20% coupon and also a Redeem button to save 10% with brand promotion.

The final price I got is $98 before tax. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Amazon

Edit:
Received it today. Overall it seems OK. Did some digging online, one of their product got decent review on STH, and some positive review videos on Chinese website which likes youtube.
This brand is one of the second tier (under TP-link or Tenda, but it is on the market in China, unlike some random brands like Yuanlei, NICGIGA, etc, that only can be found on Amazon).
I will give it a shot, it has 1 month to prove itself worth 100 dollars.

For those interested, the additional 10% off "brand promotion" disappeared at least for me.

I got one as well, thanks @finno!

A few observations:
- without airflow underneath switch would get hot to touch on the bottom (and smell a little bit) without any SFP's attached; rubber pads provided are definitely not enough; with ~1cm of clearance it stays barely warm (again, without SFPs or with a single 1000BaseT SFP).
- CLI seems decent; i've observed no crashes while exploring significant chunk of it (i'm used for cheap switches to crash when you try obscure options)
- i've no issues with switch saving config, both CLI and GUI; though i've mostly used CLI
- CLI tree is similar to Cisco, but it's only a passing similarity; a number of things are done differently; CLI manual is incomplete
- SNMP support is working and quite welcome in such an affordable unit
- it appears to have full expected suite of switching functionality (VLANs, QinQ, 802.1x, rate limitng, spanning tree, LACP) and some L3 (routing, OSPF/RIP/BGP)

I'd update once when/if i'd test switching functionality; but at the first glance it's not complete junk.
I'd not expect it to handle many 10Gbase-T SFP+'s, both from cooling and from power supply standpoint; with the 10Gbase-SR SFP+'s at a ~$2 i see little reason to use DACs; i do hope it can handle ~6 SFP+ 10Gbase-SR's and 1-2 copper (1000Base-T or better).
