I've been watching the price of "minor makers" planes on ePay since friday night.
A completed items Worldwide search will show some good listings. Lots of planes that are below what you will ever find here, and postage is $30 for most and $40 for jointers.
A bit of research on "minor" makers and you can get great bargains on good tools, and leave the Stanley's to the collectors. A lot of the minor makers actually offered better quality to Stanley, IMO, as a way of competing.
Try Sargent.
David Heckel sells a book on ePay about them, usually it goes for US$20.
Edit: I should sign off as "the guy that got so peeved at a new Stanely that I now have just about all the planes I'll need and only have 1 Stanley."
