Gamestop is ripping you off for sure but the general point is the same. Amiibos aren't hard to find anymore and so the used market struggles to be above RRP. The Australian RRP for Amiibos is around $18AU or so and at the peak some people were trying to get $80AU or so each. As of today on a local auction site I can only see people selling them for ~$15AU each. And even that doesn't seem like a fantastic deal given that most shops are well stocked and are selling them for ~$15AU or less.
The only exceptions are the gold and silver Mario....

What about importing via eBay or from Japan? It isn't that expensive, and let's you find rare amiibo, like Lucina, if you don't care about their region, of course.
I get most of mine from Japan, either way I didn't buy mine to make a profit... money is definitely not an issue for us, I bought them because I like em.
Hi
Only a few weeks after the launch of the first wave of Amiibo Figurines, it was discovered that certain Amiibo were discontinued because of character popularity, prompting questions concerning Amiibo rarity.
From the first wave, Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and Villager are no longer being stocked on store shelves. Statements from Nintendo first said that while they would ensure that popular Amiibo were always being shipped to stores, other Amiibo may not always be in production. Nintendo followed up by saying that these Amiibo may return to distribution sometime in the future, but details are scarce at this time. Nintendo would eventually confirm that Marth would be restocked in time for Code Name S.T.E.A.M.'s release.
