1. Look for pieces you like, when you find one guess the price you think it should be selling for.
2. Click on the picture to view the information about the piece and find out if you came in low and high.
Sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised. Such as I got a rather nice and small Gyokko Kyusu from him that was selling for 50% less if not 100% less than I would have guessed. But I did not know this at the time Gyokko Kyusu tend to be on the more affordable side.
I liked that game. Now I just stare at the same pieces over and over again and its no longer the fun game it once was but a daily addiction like smoking.
Speaking of smoking, I won't tell you the number of people that give my kyusu's a weird look, and then wink at me when I tell them they are for green tea.

I own one of those, and it is an excellent little one-person kyusu. Very light weight and well constructed. Brews much better than many (most) of my more expensive pots. However, it is 90-100 ml max vol (up to the rim). But great for a cup of sencha, or a few tiny cups of gyo.

I purchased the larger version, but from Rishi ... 5ish years ago. It was my first sasame screened Kyusu. The screen is extreme ultra fine in that it will clog up with ultra fuka selections such as YM from O-Cha. But otherwise, a great Kyusu.

Oh, BTW I have a 5 year old one and gave a new one as a gift recently. The newer ones have finer screens.
