Rick, my wife and I frequent several nurseries throughout the Spring, often looking for specifics, or deals, and once I saw these 300 seed trays in the trash, and inquired about them. I was told that I could take as many as I wanted. Sweet!
I do have a few of the smaller numbered cells, but the advantage with those is that the cells are large, and do not need such constant watering. These days are exciting, because we are seeing new sprouts every day!
I recently came across, and placed an order the 'pepperlover.com', and already seeds from this order are sprouting. He is quite generous with his seeds, and has a fair selection of various sweet and hot varieties.
I used to use a European website that sold over 700 varieties of peppers, but when I had recently revisited this website to place an order, there was this notification on the opening page;
"Important Notice to all US customers!
Some recent shipments to US have been confiscated by USDA and the customers got an empty envelope together with a note that seeds were confiscated because of missing phytosanitary certificate.
We highly recommend to apply for a import permit (small batches of seeds), that can be done online at the USDA APHIS page search import permit PPQ 587 - Plants for planting including seeds.
US customers ordering without this certificate declare that shipment is at their own risk
and they will not get a refund if the seeds were confiscated!"
Sorry, but I am not going to 'register' my seeds with the Gov't! I will shop elsewhere.
