Has anyone ever heard of Bonsai Superstore?

URL: Bonsai Superstore - Japanese Bonsai from the Bonsai Masters

They sent me a message at one of the bonsai websites that I maintain wanting me to add them to my links list. I don't want to support a poor resource - I can't stand those places that sell cheap chinese imports for big money. I can't find much info about these guys so was just looking for input if folks thought they were a good resource or not.

So far, I'm unimpressed that they only show one example of something - it doesn't look like you get to see the actual tree that you're buying, which I don't like. Any info would be great, thanks!

it seems as though you would receive the one in the picture. does it say otherwise?

Nope....not necessarily! Just take a look at BonsaiBoy. Overpriced and what you see is not what you get. I'm sure you have heard of puppy mills? Well, there are plenty of bonsai mills also!

Acording to another site they are beeing investigated, by the USofA authoritys for illegal imports. They have said they can ship to Australia. No they can't. Hope this helps's. It does show that sex sellsPup

WOW!!!!!!!! they carry silver-plated tools. I have been searching for them since I was a wee childe. they are so much more suitable than the gold plated ones and for some reason the solid sterling tools fail to keep an edge...
