It still seems odd to me that they would reduce a yorkie so much in price due to shyness. It makes me wonder if they know how to properly diagnose why the puppy is so shy or if there is a medical issue going on.
I know you posted that when you held him, he yelped. That seems very strange to me. And I saw in the original post, you stated that there was another 100 puppy. Was that one "shy" also?
When I reread your original post it just seems SO much a puppymill IMO. Tons of breeds, a trailer, cages, not allowing you to see the parents, inconsistent information on birthdates, ect.
None of those signs point to anything but a bad situation to me. I personally would call and have the ASPCA check it out. If all the dogs are in good health and clean conditions the woman won't have any issues. But if there are problems, the dogs will be able to get the help they need.
Of course, it's your call and you know what you saw. Just letting you know what I think from the post
