Here is a link to the eBay auction:
Kaya 5.9" 15cm Go Board and Yunzi Stones Game Set
And here is an image which I will augment as I take shipment and shoot my own photos:
The yunzi stones are biconvex which I have mixed feelings about. I really like the idea of having a single flat side based on the images I've seen of chinese pros using those flat sides to denote special meaning during a review. At the same time, I think biconvex probably feel better and look better. So, in the end, I am happy about the stones but have conveniently left myself something to complain about. :)
More info to come...

Glad you got yours! Here's the latest.
Agh! I gave you the wrong link. Here's the right one.
Just curious: how did the board turn out? Is it really true kaya, and a solid chunk (not veneer)? The price seems too good to be true.
It's a pretty nice board, although there were shipping problems. Here are some photos:

I have been meaning to create a writeup but just have not gotten around to doing it justice.
All in all, after a couple months of ownership, I think I'd buy it if I had to do it all over again. I would NOT pay their list price of $695, though.
In principle, a good happen, support the views of the author
is still produced to this day
