There are still deals out there. Mostly in mislisted items, or things where there's a common item and a tougher one with a small difference between them.
Last year or earlier this year I picked up a stamp that catalogs 2500 for 18 as a BIN
18 was a good price for the basic stamp, and the difference while catalog listed isn't shown in a picture. So knowing you have it isn't exactly simple.
Sort of like finding a Murr'y as a BIN at a decent price for a common.
Another was listed by a seller in Norway and ended at 8am est easter sunday. Not a common one, and listed at just under 10% of the catalog value. I was the only bidder.
With stamps some of the varieties are not well known and many sellers won't take the time to become knowledgeable about them- Even some of the bigger dealers. Although one I met said he didn't have the time to be bothered with small varieties that catalog under 1000 unless it was plainly marked in the collection it came from. (He often has stuff that's 5000+)
