You should put in a price range you are prepared to pay Simo,
This will greatly dictate the trees you will be offered. I'm sure that members here will be realistic about what they present.

John M is right simo,
For $200 you will get little basic trees or some nice stock trees. You will struggle to find a developed pine for under a grand, you might find a good styled Juni to grow on for $200, same goes for a maple but expect only Mallsie. I would suggest rather than buying a few $200 bonsai, pool your available funds and shop for one or three $500 trees. You will get much better quality for your buck to appreciate. Then save the last few hundred to buy a few nice stock trees and bring them up to $1K trees.
Cheers
