I often thought of putting some of my trees on the sales page, but the biggest deterrent is the shipping. How safe would it be to ship something that you've worked years on to someone who is eagerly waiting, and then find out the tree was either damaged in freight or died because of not getting any water. Overnight express would be a good option, but that might be more than the tree is worth in some cases. Ron is probably right in his obsevations about the auction being closely related to the sales page in success. It would be nice however to see some of the proceeds go to bonsaiTalk.
