You can get some premium stuff for cheap because it’s not worth the effort to them to do otherwise. Girlfriend found some particular figurines for 25% of what they were worth, but because they’re not a common collector item (and there were a TON) it’s easier to sell cheap than hold out for the real value.

That’s true, they can be a bright spot in a dark sea of overpriced used crap.
Unfortunately that seems to be fading too though. It seems like in-person ones are usually the only time that happens though, and many of them are moving online. That means you’re competing with everyone else who knows how to use auction sites besides ebay.
Maybe I’m just looking for the wrong things though. Collectibles outside of my interests may be experiencing different trends.
