"List" price was $40. This is a small table-top tree (smallest they had), with a small plastic stand included. I asked what they might have in the $20 range, and the seller said I could have the very same tree for $25. Sold.

Having grown up in rural NY with pine trees everywhere, I wouldn't call it a great deal for what amounts to a standing branch, but I'm sure these guys have some sort of overhead to deal with (farming, trucking, 24-hour staffing for a full month, permits, etc).

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.
