Plenty of good buys at antique shops, people just have to look around. I've listed bottles on ebay and had it sell for twice what I was asking for in the store. I've sold lots of bottles at shows for the exact amount I would have sold them for in the store.
Basically, what I tell my customers is an item is worth it if you like it. If you plan on sitting the bottle on a shelf and enjoying it for several years than it is well worth what you paid for it. However, if you bought it with the intention of listing it online and selling it for 3 times what you paid for it, then it probably was a bad buy. Value, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
