There is some truth in what you say, but it probably depends somewhat on the individual doing the looking, too. In my case, I can't usually afford much at all, so I have to consider the price. If I spend time looking at a tree and decide that it would be a good subject, and only after find out that the price is too high for my means . . . well, it's not a happy feeling. On the other hand, if I look at the price and discover that it's in my range, then I can look at it on its merits as a subject and not feel disappointed if it turns out that it's not a good subject.

But if finding a great price is going to influence your appraisal of the tree, then you're probably right that it's better to do the appraisal before checking the price.
