is this yixing any good

[argus]

I spotted this interesting yixing by Yunnan Sourcing thats quite affordable so I'm wondering if anyone had any experiences with it

I have no idea because I believe of buying stuff you can get the feel yourself and testing prior the purchase. Sorry for not being more hepful. Someone will chime in and give you proper advice; however if you decide to go ahead, you can save some bucks if you buy directly to the vendor's site:

Gluck anyway!

From a quick glance it looks very decent! And it is not all that expensive. I would say it is a decent buy. It would be more helpful to see it in person, but that is not always an option. I have had some issues like that before as well.
But if you get it, let us know how it is!

I was trawling the site in search of information on ben shan lu ni when i came across two posts which might be helpful to you.

The first is http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=5993 which showcase an experience with a teapot that is slightly more expensive than the one you are looking.

The second is http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3733 which gives advice in getting a yixing pot.

To summarize, it is quite hard to judge based on a photo. It should be worth a bet so long as it is able to brew tea without smelling bad. Also since it says 7 days money back, you have some leeway to try though you should factor in the cost of return postage.
