What will replace the quality of the discontinued Shimano BB-UN55?

[Fastpedaller]

Very cheap - well done - Brand says 'Gokoti'.
"Exquisite design, two sides metal sealed ball bearing, with good dustproof effect. "
How do reputable firms manage to sell this spec bearing for £10 each? Or maybe one has to pay more for the 2RS - but does one need seals like that in bottom bracket?
Do people really care about the assured provenance of quality bearings?

look to be the same thing (Amazon are 2rs (2 rubber seals), but 1/10 of the price of others.

2 differing prices for the same product from Bearing King?

No - two identical bearings (ZEN) from different vendors: 'Bearing King' and 'bearingboys'. Then a cheaper one from 'Bearing King' (BKL).
Thank you for reading.
Can you think of any explanation for the ones (10 of) you've bought being a tenth of the price?
Anyone got any ideas?

The 2 choices from Bearing King are the same size, just one shown as budget and the other standard - I'm not convinced they are REALLY different, but hey-ho maybe they are?

Size spec of the balls really wide and material not necessarily what a reasonable designer would specify, perhaps?
