Short summary: I'm ambivalent on this sale. For people outside of the US, this is probably the best sale since the June sale. If you're from the US, it's more of a case by case basis as the high value influencer codes are out of stock as of this writing. If you're just interested in the codes and data, scroll down to the bottom.

This is my 8th price comparison sale post since I started back mid July. Last week the precoupon prices were the absolute worst out of all 8 sales. This week, the precoupon prices are the best since I started tracking in mid July. These are probably the best precoupon prices since the mid June sale and I wouldn't be surprised if they were the best prices until Aliexpress's largest sale of the year 11/11.
To illustrate my point, I have added in historical low pricing by going through every sale and getting the lowest postcoupon price. As evidenced in the data below, almost every single postcoupon price would be lower than the previous historical low.
For example using precoupon prices:
- The R36S is $26.02 and even cheaper if you have coins and use the coins super discount method that I have provided. Some people over the past few days were able to get them for as low as $15 + tax. It's now a bit more expensive but still around $20. Coins super discount method here:
- The Miyoo A30 is $26.56. This is an all time precoupon low since I started tracking.
- Most of the Powkiddy and Anbernic devices don't really seem to be on sale besides the SP. Their base prices are high and the good coupons don't work. Horrible combination, double whammy.
However, as I have established previously, what determines how good an aliexpress sale is, is the strength of the promotion codes. And currently, the problem is that the influencer codes such as 9 off 30, 15 off 60, and 25 off 100 are all out of stock as of this writing. I have seen the 15 off 60 as recent as 3:05 AM Eastern Time on 10/1 so I'll keep the codes in this post in the hopes the codes are restocked.
As those coupons are currently out of stock, I have gone hunting for alternative coupons. These are not as good as the influencer coupons so I'll let you guys be the judge of the value. I have listed them in what I consider Tier 1 (Best), Tier 2 (Decent), and Tier 3 (Ok) Use if everything else fails. Tier 1 is limited to US ONLY while Tier 2 and 3 are global codes.
Coupon Codes:
Tier One US ONLY: (Currently out of stock but in stock as recently as 10/1 3:05 AM EST, check back occasionally to see if they restock)

Finally in the interest of transparency over the last few sales, multiple people have asked about the out of stock influencer codes. As a result, I have been in contact with aliexpress asking for more codes. I have told aliexpress that I am willing to take a 0% commission kickback if it means I can get some good codes for the community. Despite this, aliexpress has told me each time that I need to show them that I am bringing significant traffic to their website in order to get unique promotion codes. Because I used non affiliate links and the influencer promotion codes, even though some of my posts eclipsed 200,000 views none of it was tracked. To that end I apologize, I have added affiliate codes to spreadsheet today. However, I want to emphasize that every single affiliate link has a non affiliate link counterpart right besides it.
Additionally, I am providing a separate completely affiliate free spreadsheet if you would like to use that too in case you're worried about accidentally clicking on an affiliate link on the regular spreadsheet. The content of the affiliate free spreadsheet is identical to the other one. I just removed the affiliate links.
So if you would like to use affiliate free links, you can either use the affiliate free links that are in the 1st or 2nd spreadsheet below.

10/1 Choice Sale
TL;DR: Base prices are historically good, however the best coupons are out of stock so the final prices are not as good as they could be. I have added historical pricing to the spreadsheet and a bunch of other coupons. First, use the "October Choice Codes List" since those are slightly better than the International Codes list. Both lists are global codes that should work for everyone and not only US users.
