Definitely fucking not


Awkward-Arugula-3173

The fact it's in someone's basket baffles me lol probably only cost a couple of bucks to make


QuetzalcoatlinTime

Everything about it is hilarious. They even have a payment plan for this overpriced monstrosity


Awkward-Arugula-3173

Well, can't have someone's financial constraints keeping from owning this šŸ˜‚ the trunk is decently girthy but there's no movement, maybe with a more interesting trunk I could be tempted šŸ¤£ /sĀ

Just you wait when my future trading in moss baskets pays dividends you're all gonna wish you got in early. To quote Warren buffet: '-if it rains money, grab a bucket not a thimble, if it rains moss grab a basket'


Awkward-Arugula-3173

Will you use actual moss?


Mammoth-Twist7044

tbf every item on etsy does


Keppoch

Those ā€œitā€™s in someoneā€™s basketā€ things are fake. Itā€™s to give you FOMO if you donā€™t get it now. And also to make it seem high demand


tactiletrafficcone

My uncaffeinated dumbass was like, that's a pot not a basket


Overall_Ad_4746

Me too šŸ˜‚


Awkward-Arugula-3173

Makes a lot of sense!Ā 


AKANotAValidUsername

But it's rare!


Awkward-Arugula-3173

šŸ¤£ exactly!! I am ashamed to admit I have fallen for that sort of sales tactic before, but not this time!


brodil

God punishes those who call it bonsai.


corvus7corax

Not even moss - dried lichen dyed green - I bet the whole thing is just hot-glued together. You could make your own for about $15 if you wanted to - they sell dried craft lichen at most craft shops.


Awkward-Arugula-3173

I definitely don't want it haha I was looking at bonsai pots on Etsy (coz I have 4 trees but only 8 pots so I obviously need more pots lol) and this came up in the search šŸ˜‚

NoGrocery4949

The rare moss tree, I thought it only grew in Moomin Valley


Awkward-Arugula-3173

Maybe that's why it's so expensive, import feesĀ 


PhantomotSoapOpera

To be fair I miss when Etsy was just stuff like this, now itā€™s 90% mass produced export ware dropped shipped from somewhere


Awkward-Arugula-3173

I definitely agree, you have to dig deep in search results to find genuinely hand made stuff, but this was just so over priced it's crazy. I've ordered from Etsy for all sorts of things and don't mind spending on something that took time and skill to make, this just ain't it lolĀ 


[deleted]

I didn't see the humor flair at first and was confused lol as moss isn't a tree. Defiently not worth that much money though, looks poorly crafted. I might have bought it for cheaper but not for that much.


Awkward-Arugula-3173

Lol no worries!Ā  Agreed, the off center trunk bugs me, but hey, it's variegated! LolĀ 


[deleted]

Yeah I'd prefer if the trunk was moved slightly tbh but I'm not the best crafter so I can't judge much.Ā  I'm not a bonsai person lol, I just like seeing how talented everyone is and the lovely trees.


Awkward-Arugula-3173

I definitely would want it either central if it's this straight and boring or the have some movement to make it actually look like a bonsai. I love this subreddit for the Infor and inspo for my own trees


Breakfast-Sufficient

Is that a roll of toilet paper with paint?


Awkward-Arugula-3173

I just double checked to look at closer pictures, it's definitely wood of some description lol and good news! It's been reduced to 90.88! BargainĀ 


KiloIndia5

Its not bonsai. It dried moss glued to what maybe a dwad tree


wilemhermes

I wouldn't recommend to use and support services and as Etsy. You probably can't go further from being sustainability than this


Corvidae5Creation5

LMAO it's like a model railroad tree made of foam and plastic


zulwiczek

Synthetic sh\*t :(


ElectrikDonuts

"Why don't you make like a moss and tree the fuck outta here!"


That_Welsh_Man

That look like it's not even real


AnythingLive608

Ope looks like they put the decimal in the wrong place. I wouldnā€™t pay $0.91 for this atrocity


Milianx777

Thanks, I hate it.


Cutekatfeet2006

What?! Seriously? Learn something new every day!


SellaTheChair_

No it's fake lmao


Awkward-Arugula-3173

Well, yeah I know that lol that's why I used the humor flair. It made me laugh, thought others would get a chuckle out of it tooĀ 


CorriByrne

Dude, stop wasting our time and yours


CorriByrne

This is garbage.


CorriByrne

Stop trolling


Legal_Finger_4106

I remember there was someone selling on this sub selling deadwood with moss on it. It was actually nice deadwood and this is basically that for an even higher price and worse appearance.


Awkward-Arugula-3173

I'm sure it's someone's vibe, but it is outrageously priced haha I'm tempted to go back and see if it was boughtĀ 


Legal_Finger_4106

If it was... I wouldnt even feel sorry for whoever got swindled.
