Certainly items out there you just have to think outside the box a little when searching, typing vintage Star Wars as a search on Ebay you've pretty much guaranteed yourself a list of items for sale that another few thousand people have already seen but if you search using differnet words you do actually stumble across the odd bargain.
I've picked up a few deals recently that actually appeared in the suggested for you part at the bottom of another listing, for some reason these listing didn't show up in a general search. Research and knowledge is also key for picking up rarer items, knowing what you are looking for and a general feel for picking out the bullshit from the legit also helps.
I used to marvel at how some members on here could pick a rarer item from a pic that other wise looked like a standard one so I learnt what to look for and it certainly helps.

There was a poorly listed rare trilogo figure on ebay just the other day, I just missed out on him :evil: Hope someone on here got him 
I often look in charity shops - but nothing, they all seem to know what things are worth these days :x
Congrats Adam lovely figures, that's good to know. Can your Mother in law look for me? :lol:

I've found some harder to find items (mostly modern SW) online, but indeed usually because they either don't know Star Wars, or made some spelling error that would not have the item appear when searching for "Star Wars". I have found some cool stuff hiding in bargain bins on conventions or flee markets, but those again usually sellers who have no idea about SW.
Most "rare" stuff doesn't go unnoticed online these days. Too many people browsing that apparently have no day job or anything (seriously, some people are bidding on almost all SW items that appear on a local version of eBay).
Recently picked up the 16" Treebeard figure that someone was selling as "Boom" (Dutch for "Tree").
