Al, thank you once again..again.

After reading this thread over, and yes it is worth re-reading, I see what you mean. There is no doubt that if I was looking to spend $140.00 and saw those trees, I would have bought one.. perhaps one that was, well not as good as it should be. After reading and seeing your points I realize the importance of REALLY looking at the tree in front of me.

As a person learning my craft, I need to be shown that there are good trees and thre are really good trees .... and.... there are trees that are not worth the money. Sure they could be made into a good tree, but it would take a lot more time and a lot more effort than the tree is worth (purchase price). Also, just because a tree comes with a higher price does not mean it is a better tree.
