Menghai 7572 Tong Sourcing?
Has anyone seen any young 7572 tongs from Menghai? I'd like to pick up a tong but haven't seen any at an accurate price. I've never used taobao before but located some options http://mytaofocus.com/shop/s.php?search=menghai , but I'm not quite certain about reliability. Please let me know what you think.

I am not crazy about their storage--years-old material arrives seemingly unaged--but at least it's not fake and the price is hard to beat.

I get my 7572 from Yunnan Sourcing, the last one purchased was a 2009 and I am very pleased with it. They have 2009-2014 in stock if you're looking for young, with tong options available for some of the years. I've never purchased anything from the site you listed and looking at it I doubt I would.

This link points to an authorized dealer for Menghai in Kunming:
http://mytaofocus.com/shop/item.php?id=12236794602
That dealer is the only one I buy new CNNP and Dayi tea from now. They can ship directly to me in Hong Kong by SF Express, and I just pay the courier in cash at my door. I pay around $20 shipping for 3.5kg of tea. Their prices are great and you don't have to worry about fakes from them, although I always find a little random tea dust in my packages somehow! If you were to buy me a couple of 7572s and cover the fees and shipping to here and then on to you, I might be willing to order it for you and send the tong on.
They also have 2010-2013 for more money (they don't let you pick the year, and send you whatever they feel like). I'd go with the 2014 myself, since it is considerably cheaper.
Here's a list of your 7572 options from that specific dealer:
