Hello, I am looking to buy some nice juniper bonsai and I came across this site where they sell this beautifull one of a kind juniper bonsai for what seems to be a good price - and It was grown and trained by Bonsa Boy himself:

www.bonsaiboy.com/catalog/product8479.html

What do you think? Do I have a bargain here?

What is the use of this thread? It is well known that bonsaiboy sells overpriced cuttings. Why shop-bash here?

For me, those creations are endless source of inspiration. For a laugh....
Thought someone might appreciate them too.

I do. I posted pictures from their site before.
It continues to amaze me what prices people apparently are willing to pay.
I mean... 395 USD for this one... calling that ´overprized' is a euphemism.

I wonder how he comes up with these funny shapes, and if he really thinks they remind of trees to someone.
And If somebody actually pays those amounts of money for such a ridiculous caricatures of mallsai.
