Post subject:  Value of Bonsai Material

A recent topic has made me wonder on how Forum members and bonsai enthusiast in general go about putting a value / price on trees and material, both when buying and selling.
I have taken some pictures of bonsai material I have standing around the garden at the moment and would like you to give me a valuation and a short explanation as to how you have arrived at this value. BTW, "I have seen a similar one at xxxx bonsai nursery/internet/club auction" is a valid reason for valuation.

Please PM me with your valuation and reason, rather than posting as a reply. This will prevent individuals being lead by other replies. I will collate and post the result in a week or when I have a reasonable amount of replies.

There are five trees, all in different stages of development.

Just a quick note.
Make your valuation based on YOUR criteria. I will not be offended if you value them at nothing and comment "only good for the bonfire". I am just interested on how you arrive at valuing trees and material.
