Re: 2013 Dayi 7542
Yes. This could be one of the reasons that XG 8653 2013 went from 32-35RMB to 45-55RMB.apache wrote:I just saw this year first batch of 7542 and it's over 200 rmb per cake.

Someone seems to be buying out 8653 2010 as last month, I got one for 38 now it's 48RMB, one of the main sellers on TB even pricing it at 65RMB
Re: 2013 Dayi 7542
Post '03 and especially post '05 Dayi is a ripoff, and even more, there is precious little quality premium in return for the cost premiums of their better cakes. For example, right now, my V93 '08 is pretty much better than the '09 Dragon Pole in most respect, and in any judgment, there isn't any real difference in quality, overall--but the Dragon Pole costs more than twice the V93, last I checked, per gram. Same with most of their green cakes, too.
Re: 2013 Dayi 7542
this is totally a rip off. i thought the year of snake commemorative cake at RMB390 is crazy. this really top it off. i bet others like 8582 will almost double its price too.

The speculation are making XG prices go crazy too. The 2013 8653 was out 2 months ago for 35-38RM now a lot selling 42-50RMB.

When it just came out some from China feels the quality aren't worth that price. Paying extra for that snake wrapperJakubT wrote:The Snake cake is quite good, at least...
Well those who sells tea or into tea speculation should be happy
Re: 2013 Dayi 7542
That may be so - it's probably overpriced, I agree. However, I think it should become a very good tea in future, which I'm not so sure about when drinking young 7542s, etc.lordsbm wrote:When it just came out some from China feels the quality aren't worth that price.

I'm not impressed by 2012 Year of the Dragon cake though.

Re: 2013 Dayi 7542
Snake is at 388 rmb from the TB shop I normally source my Dayi cakes. I think from any Dayi flagship store would be well over 400 rmb.lordsbm wrote:I think the snake cake is selling now >400RMB from reputable sellerquikstep wrote:this is totally a rip off. i thought the year of snake commemorative cake at RMB390 is crazy. this really top it off. i bet others like 8582 will almost double its price too.

2008 was around the time was when economy downturn. Gold prices been dipping, maybe the speculators offload on gold and buy pu erh (j/k, it's due to other reasons). Stocks speculation in my country also been active since last quarter of last year.apache wrote:2007 again?lordsbm wrote:When it just came out some from China feels the quality aren't worth that price.

All I'm saying it's likely linked to the economy. Public speculation stop when economy goes bad As always, when economy goes bad, those with cash to spend likely to get the best deal

CL from Guangzhou? Just a word of caution if you buy old tea from them, especially if you only like dry stored. I recall reading people complain about their storage for different cakes before.apache wrote: Snake is at 388 rmb from the TB shop I normally source my Dayi cakes.

Re: 2013 Dayi 7542
I only buy new cakes from them and I see no problem, but not old tea. Their old stuffs aren't that reliable.lordsbm wrote:CL from Guangzhou?
