. At $1.00 each delivered they certainly were a bargain , I will get around to cleaning up the rest of them in my spare time and then find the extra time to do some bonsai work .
Cheers Alpineart

Hi guys and gals , there are bargains to be had on Ebay if you know where to look . Its always good to have a few spare pots in storage especially in time for re-potting .
With another very good year for sales completed , these have turned up at the right time to re-stock the benches .
Cheers Alpine.

Ebay, if you know where to look?? Is there a secret place to look? As Pauline would say "please explain"
Cheers

Hi KIRKY , some people don't know how to list their items and list them incorrectly or in the wrong category . These were advertised as bonsai dishes and didn't come up in a search for bonsai pots or bonsai , they actually came up on the Gum Tree site advert which I am also a member .
I get alerts from both sites when regularly searching for items , the down side is I get dozens of emails a week but it has its rewards . 2 items the other day were listed as Bonsai trays , there is no category for bonsai trays either however they did come up in a search for bonsai pots unfortunately I missed the auctions.
I also sell bonsai on both sites but the item discription covers all possible categories which has more advantages over 1 single category .
Cheers Alpine
