To buy ? or not to buy ? was created by Enaisio

Posted 8 years 9 months ago #19850
I've been searching for some good olive material for some time now , as it was an olive tree given to me by my gran in Italy that got me into bonsai. That tree is now dead because the person that was looking after it for me didn't care for it so I'm looking for a replacement.
I have finally found this one:

Is it worth the money ?

With some reservations:
- The photo doesn't show the full quality of the tree
- I am personally not a big fan of olive bonsai trees

it does seem this tree has a nice, massive trunk, a trained root system and potential, so I'm inclined to say it is not overprized.

I have already requested more photos of the tree all round ,
I've lived amongst olive trees for most of my life so I feel as if I'm obligated to have one as a bonsai :)
Thanks for your input I'm even more enclined to buying it.
FYI I have , of course made a lower offer on it . It never hurts to try ;)
I'll post the other photos when they send me them
Thanks again
