Update: See my 2nd page. Received my order today. Very disappointed at what I got. Not only got the wrong item but also the weight makes me think high mag binocular is not a good idea even if you accept tripod.

Gosky SkyIview Astronomy Binoculars, Giant Binoculars with Digiscoping Adapter - for Moon Observation Bird Watching Sightseeing Shooting Star Gazing
Product link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D8MZTXC
Was looking for a spotting scope but happened to notice this. Priced at $100 with a 50% off coupon. I believe the coupon is for everyone as it is still there after my purchase, and also there in private window. Similar size with brand name (e.g. Celestron SkyMaster 20X80) are at $100+
The biggest concern of buying from a less known 3rd party seller is quality. I am not familiar with this seller but happened to buy their monocular 12x50 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C3H3DZBC) this week ($73.99-$20 coupon). I am satisfied even compared to my Canon 12x36 IS binocular ($600+). While my Canon surely more magnification, more comfortable(use both eyes), and with IS, but the monocular offer a wider field of view (FOV) to enjoy the scene and half the size. The lens quality is pretty good, no edge distortion or purple coloring.
Another concern is that such big binocular are deemed to use tripod. Don't dream about hand hold, period. The chance for me to use it would be very low... Well considering the price, I bite. If it disappoints me, I will return.
P.S. At the moment of this posting, it shows "Only 13 left in stock - order soon." Was "14 left" before I bought. So I guess it is accurate.
