I like how he says
"I was originally going to keep this one in my own collection but I need to keep the money flowing to expand my business."
You gotta love this comment! It shows us that he truly loves his bonsai but he is willing to sacrifice now to grow his business. Not to better himself, not at all. He has to sacrifice to bring even better bargains to future ebay bidders and the bonsai community in general. He's quite an industrious fellow. He's wraped up the American dream, mom and apple pie in a nice little bonsai package. How can you not bid on something like that?
