I think (with zero evidence) that the market is partners of gamers. So you'd always wanted "mini X" and your wife/husband/mindslave decides to surprise you for your birthday or whatever. As a one off purchase as a gift (by someone who isn't doing the collecting directly and maybe factors in more realistic costs) whilst expensive it's less of an issue. Think of it more like the purchase of an ornament or piece of jewellery type thing.
I think those of us doing day to day collecting know that eventually things do re-appear, so it's only once in a while where I'll go over the odds. My Eldar Phantom Titan springs to mind, that was the second one I think I've seen on ebay ever that was certainly original and in the UK. Some extra Beasts of Nurgle, nah I'll wait until some eventually turn up at more like £20-30, not paying ~£100.

Agree Eric - I've laid out the occasional £15 for a fig, but tend to be RoC JG Chaos warriors n beasts

yeah. the odd more then you really wanna pay but you can kinda justify it is kinda okay. I'm still struggling with paying £10 for a Skaven I want but while there are a few on eBay, the ones which allow offers have stupid sellers (allow offers but then just sit on them for them to time out more then atleast REPLY? big sin in my books)

I bet there's long beards on here sitting on an an absolute fortune. Cast lead in the right shape is worth more than gold.
And GoldfishBlue (What a stupid name!) I've never bought from and never will. I was so glad when he decided to retake all his photo's on a piece of red foam, makes scrolling past his crap so easy, I don't even look at it now, second nature.
