I know this is not what our endeavor is about & I know it can probably vary greatly, but I'm am curious to the actual monetary value of some of these finer bonsai specimens. I know the value is different to each of us but I'm talkin' straight up ducket$.
It looks like it's similar to other art forms in the fact that the name & notoriety of the artist has a lot to do w/ the $value.
I know there has been trees presented to museums, given to political dignitaries & things like this, these trees of historical significance must be big money. But what would some of the nicer common man trees value($) at? I see trees that go for $100 to $500+.
How about something like this, if it we're fer sale, what kind of a tag would it have? How about similar trees by lesser known artist?
I don't plan on buying soon but just curious & trying to put it on the ol' bell curve.
