Need advice on 80's yixing teapot.

That's the best price they are willing to sell. Apparently they also took it at a high price from China. This vendor is a distributor of Dayi and ru kiln in Malaysia and the boss goes to China regularly.

Don't like these super shiny pots. 200 sounds ok, but I don't see a compelling reason why you should buy it.

They won't budge. They didn't even coax me to buy the pot during my visit when I took pictures of it. Hmmm.

don't care too much about the year of teapot,even the new pot made by good clay will brew the tea better

Any reason why shiny pots are not to your liking?

If you are choosing a pot how do you tell it's a good clay? I mean from your perspective.
