Coins disappearing

I can't seem to find any of the coins I am looking for. The dealers I go to have absolutley no fresh material and it is really making me wonder if too many people are collecting. E bay is dried up of good material and I even tried the buy sell forum. No one seems to have what I am looking for. The strange thing is, I was able to find those coins five years ago in abundance. What the heck is going on here? With the advent of eBay, do you guys think people have gotten smarter therefore reducing the amount of good deals to be had?

It’s hard to tell just how difficult your position is without a list of what you want. Some things are really hard to find. They include items that have ALWAYS been scarce and key date coins in very high grade or no problem collector grades. Many of these coins are in collections, but there are also multiple pieces in the hands of speculators who have reaped the rewards from holding these coins in recent years.

Some of them have not shown up on any of the auctions sites, or even any web sites, for over a year.
It's like everything that I am collecting has just simply dried up, or is being hoarded.
When one of them does show up, it is usually so over priced, that I just pass it by.
Where will it all end?

If you want to find this paricular coin slabbed, you may be in for a long wait. Any 1936-P Buffalo that would grade 63/64 would/should never be submitted for grading. It isn't worth it.
