Amen to that...it's far easier to buy brand new pots (which are clean and free of old media) than to scrub, wash & dry the old ones...i put the old cymbidium pots to use for a season to start vegetables or tree seedlings, but after that they either get tossed or recycled (if the facility will take them)
$2-6 is a bit much for a plastic pot; most of the gallon sized Scotch pots that I use cost less than a dollar, and last two seasons or more.
Just my two cents
