Yup! And finding non poly stuff is getting harder and harder. Where you really blow money though is on the bits people don’t always think of. Zippers, facing fabric, the amount buttons go for is obscene!

Edit: I’ve still got some zips and buttons from long ago op shop hoards

If you can find those church run or community opshops like those of old (IE not a Vinnies in a trendy suburb or any that focus on getting top dollar for trendy women's clothes) where the volunteers are little old ladies, they're still worth a look.
