Is this Ficus Ginseng..? The guy who sells, believes it is a Ficus Benjamina.. My father has a Benjamin tree so I know what Benjamin leaves look like. Plus, there is the root bulb.. Now, the thing is, he says the price is 75 dollars and i don't know if it is a normal price or not.. He also said that the tree is 10 years old.. Is there any truth in any of those?

It's a Ficus Microcarpa, sometimes called Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng.
These are considered regular house plants, not bonsai. It has no value as a bonsai. 75 USD seems highly exaggerated (but I don't now US prices for house plants).
