Matt Ouwinga lusts his pots on eBay.

But, if you contact him directly, he’ll sell them to you directly.

There are also Facebook auctions.

You could buy from the potters here @sorce @Soldano666 @ABCarve and several others (sorry I didn't list all, but my memory sucks) make and sell pots. The only online pots I have purchased are from Chuck Iker and Matt Ouwinga who Adair mentioned as I was typing this.

Matt Ouwinga is pretty darn close to D.C. in Upper Marlboro, MD. Not that far of a drive and he has tons of excellent stuff--all high end, though, but a lot of it comparable in price to lower quality stuff on websites...Worth a visit...

NVM...I clicked on the Ebay link on Matt Ouwinga's website and it took me to the high end Ebay listing that I mention above lol. It's the same guy.

I've got these two sites bookmarked, but haven't ordered anything from them. Does anyone have any experience with these vendors? The first one offers some nice yixing pots for decent prices and very reasonable shipping IMHO. The shipping kills a lot of the Facebook auctions for me. $14.95 to ship a $30 production pot? No thanks. (With that said, I've bought a fair bit from the auctions.)

I need some of those $19.99 pots. Where do you find those shaped and sized for bonsai. They can be as ugly as two beached whales fighting over a pickle for all I care

Just potted a boxwood I’m learning on in a 5 gallon water bottle I cut in half

Brussel's has some pretty cheap pots that are OK if you're not looking for anything fancy.

Buy the plant, plant the “bonsai” in the garden, use the pot for a real bonsai.

Dang it is cheaper to buy the plant in the pot at Lowe’s than it is to just buy the pot! See above vs this one!
