For any one who is interested, I will be putting in an order for more pots soon. I will advertise here once they arrive.

They will not be cheap like the low grade Chinese stuff we are use to, but i am sure that people understand the inherent value in such beautiful pieces of art.

I will keep you all informed.

Mostly second hand but in as new condition. Same as the pots i posted earlier in this thread. I personally am only interested in old pots which have already started to develop a patina. The pots that really bring a premium in Japan are the old patina'ed ones and antiques.

Yeah, that's what I would have thought =) I'm looking at bring a few over as well. Probably some for sale and some for myself =) I don't think it would be the volume you will be though.

Its very hard to be able to buy good pots that will sell in the Australian market. For example, the brown shohin pot that everyone likes earlier in the thread would be priced at WAY over what most people would pay for a finished tree.... High end pots are a difficult thing to sell. I am going to bring in a test batch and see how that goes....

Good luck with your batch!

How did this venture turn out Joe?
Bonsai was meant to keep me away from the computer.
