You actually might be able to... in Pittsburgh there is a coffee
roaster who just began selling Yixing and he has pots that start around
$25-$40 that are in fact real and pretty good quality. I asked him
about them (because I was a bit skeptical, but could tell they were
legit) and he was able to provide me with all the paperwork and full
information on them including the invoices even. It indeed showed that
he was only marking up the lower priced ones by $3-4 and when I asked
him he stated how he really loved them and was hoping that some of the
lower priced ones would get people interested and into them too.
Sometimes you get lucky and find a truly noble merchant.
