I don't know man, I could care less about "deals" anymore. We can bitch about prices all we want, but it's not like prices keep going up and dipping back down (except maybe in the case of remakes where MM's tanked when new ones were announced).
It's all relative, and so long as you're patient you can find "decently" priced pins out there. You have to ask yourself before you buy that pin "If I change my mind or get bored of it, can I sell it for what I paid give or take a few hundred dollars?". If the answer is yes, then I don't see a problem.
Last 4 pins I've sold this year:
Whirlwind - Sold for what I put into it ($2600)
High speed project - Sold for what I put into it ($600)
Black knight 2000 - Sold for $200 less than I paid for it ($2100)
Earthshaker project - Sold it for what I put into it ($1500 5 years ago)
Right now in my area there's a HUO Stern Star trek pro for sale for $4100 and it's been up there almost 2 weeks, only issue is bottom speaker buzzes so it's disconnected. That person probably paid $5200 NIB. Some would call that a deal.
