NY Christmas Tree Selling for Over $6,000

If you haven't gotten your Christmas tree, I have two questions for you: 1) What are you waiting for? 2) Did you save up?

According to ABC7 NY, there is a New York Christmas Tree vendor selling a Fraiser Fir Christmas tree for over $6,000.

It may have to do with location, the vendor is set up in SoHo down in the city. However, the vendor, who is selling the tree for $6,500, tells ABC that the price tag isn't bothering Christmas tree buyers.

After the math is all said and done the 20-foot tree is being sold for $325 per foot.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather buy a reasonably priced tree from right here in the Hudson Valley.

Vendors also say they blame the high prices due to a shortage of Fraiser Firs this season.

Where did you get your tree this year?
