Agreed, but we're dealing with supply and demand. Not all enthusiasts have the rich vein of local dealers, or even a single good local supplier that some have. Prices likely wouldn't be so high if more bonsai growers, potters, and suppliers listed. They have little to lose, especially if Paypal or escrow services are used.
I've heard a few artists say they don't want the hassle of packing and shipping, but all they'd have to do is take their wares to a pack-n-ship store and charge buyers the fees incurred. The people who really want what you have will pay the price.
