Thank you guys :) I just wait a bit, maybe Clicio or some others would chim in..
Besides that.. Do you like to do this? I can send more trees here for you to rate/judge?
Feels like it helps learning what to pay attention to get a better material.

Yes, I do, as it actually helps me learn, by looking at the tree, trying to assess it, try and find the good and bad points and especially seeing the response from others, agreeing or disagreeing. So, yeah, please do.

Here this Trident.
-It’s 83 cm Tall
Maybe overpriced, but consider this is in an online shop and a fair sized tree. The shipping costs could be elevated due to the size of the thing...

>I like the base
>I like the trunk, but I don’t like the bulge on midway
>I feel many branches are misplaced and gives an unbalanced look, but that could be corrected. The problem with this, the tree’s price shows like..not so much corrections needed...

Felidae there is no taper at all, and the whole tree is a giraffe's thick neck.
I would say "no" to this one.

No taper indeed, and the branches are young and much too thin. Yes, that can be corrected but this tree will need lots of work. I'll pass (but might buy it as raw material, depending on the price)..

I'm sure you can make something nice out of it (you know I like your landscapes), and I think LB had the same idea.
However, would you recommend someone else to buy it?

I do keep in mind that these trees are in a bonsai pot and sold as bonsai, not as pre-bonsai, so I assess them as bonsai.
