I have never purchased a tree through ebay. Some of those trees are good stock...but the price is cheap. I don't want to sound negative, but almost too cheap.

the guy lives local to me and is going to deliver them by hand, well, he will bring them to me so i can look to see if i want them and then we would go from there

kinda like a traveling store, that comes to me...

I for one am jealous. Were they all cheap? I would love to find a decent pre-bonsai for $9.00
Great deals.

he was an older man from taiwan who was super excited to see someone younger getting into bonsai. we talked for a good hour and he was very helpful and knowledgable so it was good

total for all 8 was $30, but i feel he was "gifting" some of them to me so pretty excited


if i remember correctly:

-3 japanese maple
-1 japanese black pine
-1 american elm
-1 ginko
-1 buddhist pine
- and the last on i cant remember
