Question on price to pay for retired sets

Hey guys, I'm still sort of new to lego investing and I'm still trying to research before I jump in totally. I understand that I should purchase Lego's at a discount, somewhere around 20% or more off of the retail price. What if the set is already retired? For instance, set 10230 - Mini Modulars. It's MSRP was $79.99 when released in 2012 and it's currently selling on Ebay for around $96.00. It would be very difficult to get this set at 20% off of retail but I think this set still can increase in value. What do you guys do in situations like this?This could apply to any set, I just picked this one. Thanks
