To me this is a no brainer.
OK I'll leave you to your current broadcast already in progress.

Absolutely, but some of you guys are missing a point. You still have to pick something that is worth the effort, not just old, or expensive, or old and expensive. I have seen some pretty sorry Yamadori, and I have seen some pretty sad and butt-ugly expensive pre-bonsai. Just because a tree comes from this source there is no guarantee that you are going to get a world class bonsai any sooner that someone who picks nursery material carefully.
After all an old piece of ca-ca is still a piece of ca-ca, and an expensive piece of ca-ca is still a piece of ca-ca. In the end regardless of how or where you choose to obtain material it is still up to you to choose the meat and bones of the tree.
