"Beautiful large thick Japanese Maple tree. Buyer must remove. Easy access for removal since it is approximately 6 feet from edge of driveway. This size Japanese Maple retails for approximately $3,000-3,500."

Okay, when I saw $875 and 8 feet diameter, I thought it was going to be a huge trunk of some rare type tree.  He wants someone to pay him $875 to remove his bush!  :D

There was one out here in the Puget Sound area a couple of years ago that I think went for close to $20,000.  Very slow to mature, very valuable to landscapers.

I had two growing as Bonsi trees. They were 8 years old and barely 2 inches bdh. Sounds like this guy wants to sell this one for horticultural use. (alive)  :D

So I guess me showing up with my chainsaw and a removal bill isn't what he has in mind, eh?  ???

Well.....if you want to pay the 875 and cut it down, I guess that would be up to you. ;)  I don't think it would be a very wise investment though.  :D :D
