It's nice to have a big real tree though. Got mine at the Parkway roundabout.

One tip for buying from any cash in hand Trader:

1. Decide a fair price that you think its reasonable and that you are willing to pay.

2. When he quotes you €50 or whatever - Politely decline and offer your price.

3. If he refuses then make it clear he will lose your custom to the next Guy unless he reconsiders.

4. Walk.

5. Same procedure at next location.....

6. If this yields no results you've failed to offer a reasonable price and should reassess realistically and return to step 1!!!

- I've never had one of these Guys refuse €30 for one of their crappy Trees - after pretending its an insult they'll happily pocket the cash at what is still a tidy profit
