Can sometimes find a good deal on ebay or at an auction and try to sell to a different crowd who perhaps didn't see it the first time around. Sometimes the flipper holds it for a few years with no takers, so there is always risk.
As a buyer, be patient. Unless the card is the only copy extant, another example will come along eventually. There are plenty of cards out there on most of our want lists. The thrill is in the hunt.
