Here is your solution. You post a WTB ad for the things you want. Many times you will get multiple offerings to sell you the item, with many prices. Some of those may be flippers but if the price and item are what you want you come out ahead.

I did it last week for a part I needed. I posted a need and within a few days I had 5 or 6 different offers.

Guys were actually underbidding each other to sell it. Got it for great price that included shipping.

Give it a try.
