I feel like the availability of parts has exploded as a lot of long-time hobbyists kept parts for years that weren't worth much previously that now are.

But the volume of scammers currently is ridiculous. Every time I mention interest in something, I get a scammer in my inbox pretending to be them.

Also, I've had a number of no-responds from sellers mere minutes after listing and being the first to reply.

Obviously, in person can't be beat but there are only so many swap meets every year.
