I've been buying Japanese Maples off and on for years now. Trying to save money by ordering *dead sticks* from mailorder places. Several years ago I found one on sale,,end of season thing, for $35. Today it is a beautiful tree. I'd say,,bite the bullet and buy one with an established root system. A one gallon container is better than bareroot,,when it comes to these slow growers.

Here's the tree today...well worth the money!
