People assume there is a shop. There is no shop. There is a saved search that has been running for eight months and a lot of patience.
Search the way sellers type, not the way buyers do
Most good listings are written badly. Somebody clearing a wardrobe does not know the brand or the era, so they type something generic, and the algorithm buries it under people who know exactly what they have.
I keep searches running on misspellings, vague descriptors, and brand names with the spacing wrong. That is where the underpriced things sit.
Two blurry photos is a good sign
A listing with studio lighting and correct terminology is priced accordingly. A listing photographed on a bed at night usually is not.
I have never once regretted asking for more photos. Sellers almost always send them.
Decide your size rules before you start
Vintage sizing is fiction and reproduction sizing is a different fiction. Measurements or nothing: ask for the flat waist and the inseam, and compare against something you already own that fits.
None of this is fast. It is consistent, and consistent beats lucky over a year.
The rest of the closet, and everything else, is on my page.
