Christmas tree prices can vary significantly from block to block. Help us get a sense of the discrepancy - and whether you feel you got a fair price.
Yes. $80 for a tall tree is cheaper than what you typically pay on the street (~$125). Trees are expensive, but they only can be sold for a limited time during the year, and obviously there is a somewhat inelastic demand -- you might buy a smaller tree if they are overpriced, but you will not go without a tree.
