I've been out of touch with the tea world for a couple of years now (I was in college, so I had neither time nor money), and now I come back to find that the only vendor I trusted for Yixing pots (silkroadtrade) has closed up shop. Anybody have recommendations for a Yixing vendor these days?

Guang at Houde also provides some top shelf Yixing wares;

Of course, the prices reflect the quality and rarity of such pieces.
For something much less expensive, while still being fantastic, Jing Tea Shop has some very nice pots for sale; http://www.jingteashop.com/cat-jing-tea-shop-teapot.cfm

For high end stuff, there is also The Tea Gallery but you will have to contact them via email to see what they have in stock; and Tim's webshop also has pricey stuff.
If you are looking for teapots specifically for Dan Cong oolongs, Tea Habitat is the place to go.
Shan Shui Teas also has a range of teapots.
