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.
The market value of Christmas trees, at least those coming from Canada, are something like $5 per tree. So paying 16 times that value seems a little insane! But apparently $80 is a good price on the Upper East Side for a full, fragrant, nearly 6' tree. I really like this particular vendor, a French Canadian couple, as they are reliable every year.
