He says it has been stored in Malaysia the whole time.

Normally it seems people don't post prices, but I will. I have seen this tea in Korea for $300-$700 in different stores, and in Kuala Lumpur for about 2,000 MYR ($630ish), but here it is selling for 180 MYR, which is roughly $55. Scam? Mistake? Deal of the year? Bad storage leading to lower price?

If it is real 1999 Menghai 7542 @ RM180... It will be sold out instantly without you having chance
Generally, if the deal is too good to be true... then you have to be careful. Not to mention you are a foreigner here, have to be even more careful.
