If you are a niche collector and have certain areas of emphasis and you make that be known often times people will alert you to the existence of and whereabouts of items they feel you may be interested in. A great deal of my best items and nearly half of what I buy now comes in non-auction transactions where a seller may have contacted me directly or through someone else.
Networking is absolutely effective and key.
