She had someone come look over the collection and give her est prices on what he thought the trees were worth.

She may find she is better served going with an auction format with no reserve. Decide up front if you are going to ship, how you are going to ship, and how much you will charge for shipping. Then hold the auction and you won't have to answer hundreds of random emails :)

Worst case is to get an estimate that under or over values the trees. Then you will either lose money, or not sell the trees. The value is what the market will bear. If she is willing to ship, she will have a larger market to competitively bid.

This is not an actual sale thread, just a thread about the sale. Go back to the beginning of the thread and you'll find a link.

I did eventually get an email response to my question about the price on a tree... but I think she didn't understand my email(?) because she talked about the tree but didn't give me a price :)

I decided not to pursue further based on some of the feedback in this thread, as well as the general vibe I was getting from the entire sale. I hope she sells all those trees, and I hope she gets top dollar for them.

Thank you everyone for your compassion and patience while we mourn and sort out the details following my father's sudden death. Please keep in mind that neither my mother nor I know anything about bonsai.

To clarify:
1. The trees are located in Jacksonville, Florida.
2. Unfortunately, we are not comfortable shipping because we don't know how and fear that the tree would be damaged due to our own ignorance.
3. The trees were appraised; while my mother provided a quote, we recognized that there is a range for each tree. We welcome offers in a reasonable range.
4. Please send any inquiries to bellota.pots (at) gmail (dot) com or through the FB page. Please note that we are not monitoring the Flickr page for messages.

At this time, we are speaking with D&L Bonsai Nursery (http://www.dlnursery.com/) to hold an auction on November 18. Additional details will be provided once the event is confirmed.

I have emailed from the gmail account regarding your query. Did you email us? I didn't see any emails with those trees listed.

Regarding the auction scheduled for November 18, we should be live-streaming the event to reach a broader audience, and be able to ship. These details are still being worked out. Please stay tuned for more details.

After some discussion, we have postponed the auction until the new year, as to not interfere with the holidays. We plan to hold 2 events in the spring, and we look forward to seeing you there! Please stay tuned for more info!

I just realized that I failed to let the Bnut community know that the auction of my father's trees was held on 24 February in Orlando; I had been focusing updates on our Facebook page. I blame the holidays for my oversight, but wish I had remembered to log in here regardless.

That being said:
(1) there are trees that are still available that were either not taken to the auction or did not reach their reserve prices All but the wisteria are currently available for viewing at D&L Bonsai Nursery. We are still hesitant to ship; we tried a couple and the trees/pots were significantly damaged.

(2) Bellota pots will be represented at BSF in May.
