Hahaha You call my bluff!

I said they were "asking" $1000, not getting it.

The top price I've seen paid for a second signature YST is $600 from this bottle here:
https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/14706360_yong-shoutian-glass-snuff-bottle

However, I'm not having much luck finding XCC bottles - and they are seem harder to find than YST so that should be in your favor. There was one recently listed on ebay for a little over $800 but I'm not finding it now.

But it's really not right to try to change the values. The value of a bottle should be based on the bottle and the artist's merit. I was just saying that we may have inflated YST's value by talking about him so much and so that should benefit you when you sell your bottle. I think we also made it easier for people to identify a YST bottle and once a person knows what they have, they will ask more for it.

Let's see what everyone else says!
