What exactly was it that attracted you? Was it the trunk? I am not familiar with the species. The needles look big. Do you know if they reduce well!?
Maybe it is better to ask advice before removing anything.I already thinned the clumps of branches a bit
Should not be a problem at all - as they can grow.know the branches r still a bit thin
Typing on a tablet, which is a pain. Got to keep this short.
The price? Not regarding it's potential as a bonsai, essentially this is a neglected pine. I wouldn't not pay more than 25 Euro.

Damn... That?s heck of a price for that tree!

Well, since and adequate proportion would 6:1 or lower (unless you are building a Literati), maybe "chopping" it up to 30 inches height would be a good start. This proportion, though, it is not a fixed ruled but rather an indicative one. So, look at your tree and decide by yourself. Currently as it is, it seems far too tall for the trunk girth.
Also, I believe that currently is having a dreadful soil mix (by your image it seems so). So, please, consider repotting as a viable option for this tree, too.

First things first... This is your tree and no matter our opinions it?s you who see it everyday and it?s you who should feel happy with it. That said, I wouldn?t go for a Literati style for this tree. I?d like to have it more compact and with foliage closer and lower to the trunk. Still, this tree has some growing to do, specially regarding the foliage. It needs further development. Other than maybe shortening it in height and repotting it, I wouldn?t do nothing with it but watering it, fertilizing it and let it grow for maybe the next three years.
I know... 名媛直播 can be slow, but hey... Patience is the name of the game here.
Hope this helps.
