I'm just a novice, but I agree. I don't have much to spend on bonsai, but at this stage most of whay I do spend goes into equipment and supplies. Most of my trees have come from my own yard (free), club raffles (5 tickets for $1), or low-cost material (I think the most I've spent is $15). As a result, I'm getting material that I have to train from scratch, although I have managed to get a two or three that had some preparation done as they grew. I actually prefer it this way right now, since I have so much to learn.
I will admit that a lot of what I've ended up with is probably not great material, but some of it isn't half bad and all of it has taught me something. So I don't see any of it as a waste.
