TaoBao sells mid nineties Menghai for $30. In general you add a buck a
year to the original price for each year of aging. The really
expensive pu on TaoBao is from limited production and not aging. If
you pay more than penny/gram for pu'rh then caveat emptor. Then is
still plenty of Xiaguan Millennium 100g green tuocha in Chinatown for a
buck.
