Indeed. Deals are still to be had. Shop smart and shop a lot. Explore used gun dealers with an internet presence, not just GB and GI.
I bought a 70's vintage Douglas barreled 1A in beautiful condition for $600 less than a year ago. A 6.5x55 1A (Lipsey's) in as-new condition fell into my lap at the same time for a fair bit less than the prices you are seeing on the internet auction sites. Perseverance pays.
