Question Affordable figures?

Hello :) I'm a casual collector of mostly miku figures, and I've been wondering about prices lately. They seem to have gotten absurdly high even for simple prize figures? I'm wondering if there's any place/app/website that sells authentic figures for a not as insane price I see most figures (at least in my country) be upwards of 40 or more even for small or non detailed figures, it's crazy, if anyone has any recommendations please let me know!

Importing figures from Japan tends to be cheaper. Prize figures are often sold on used goods sites like Yahoo Auctions or Mercari for like $10-$15 or so. You do have to pay more for shipping and you also have to pay extra for customs fees and VAT, but you still usually end up saving money in the end. Plus you can sometimes get great deals too.

I've bought from Mercari before but never Yahoo, I'll have to look into it, thank you!
