I'm not familiar with the auctions specific to bonsai pots.
Search facebook for "99 cent bonsai" and "bonsai auctions." The 99 cent auction is for anything with an estimated value of $75 and less, the bonsai auction site is for estimated values of $75 and up. You will find trees in all stages of development, pots, tools, anything you could be looking for. Just remember that in most cases the shipping is on the buyer, so you want to factor that into what you are willing to spend on an item. They are closed groups, so you have to request to be added, but this makes it so if any buyers or sellers don't play by the rules they can be removed from the group. It makes it very easy to trust the people you are buying from. So far I have had nothing but good experiences here and have made some great connections with people in this community.
I've sold about 20 pots... and tools...and magazines/books. Never a problem. Shipping is mostly flat rate box so not expensive. There's also a page just for pots. Bonsai pot auctions.
Yeah it's horrible. Better try the pot friendly species first indeed. Was the chip on the nicest side? What helps for me is to turn it to the back
Yeah I'm amazed, it was via GLS couriers who generally are a bit rubbish here but the guy actually had a kettle my wife ordered as well so he managed to get to us after a phone call, when he brought the big box out I had no idea what it was as surely it couldn't of been my order already.
Good news is I get to choose another pot for the azalea, don't think any of mine are as deep as I would like for it. Wonder how much a commission pot may set me back.
It's over 400 km away so that makes it even more impressive.
The retaining wall has caused us nothing but problems, as soon as we moved in the existing tiles started just falling off but in fairness they were a horrid style to begin with. Plus the land registry remapped our house via drone and instead of using the fence as our boundary they used the retaining wall, so officially we have nearly 100sqm less on our land which makes our house unsellable and we have to pay to have it fixed.
Still it needs to be there as support so we may as well do it up to look nicer.
Yeah cost would be a thing, no idea how much it may set me back but I could throw a couple of hundred euro at it. That said I could just as easy be happy with one I find already made. Got a year to think about it so no rush.
I'm liking some of the Terre o Verte pots so maybe I'll find one there.
As for the land registry, well this is Spain and as I am so often told "we do things differently here". We even asked a lawyer and no dice, fact is the place is still tarnished by Franco's influence and nobody challenges anything because of it.
I'm livid about it, pretty sure I could take it to the EU courts but we have to live here and that would be more trouble than it's worth, plus the wife told me to forget it so overruled.
At least the weather is nice 6 months a year and they have KFC here too, both of which I missed when living in Belgium so it is not all that bad.
Had my eye on this Satomi Terahata ever since I first saw it, colours like this will always appeal to me. Need better light for the chop pic.
Alex was kind enough to gift a charming little Esther Griffiths - WSC accent pot.
I'd like to say that is my lot for at least 6 months but I have a feeling Thor will be releasing another edition soonly.
