Expect to pay double or triple the retail value of any omnibus a few months following the official OOP status. As for the binding, it can be poorly done. Look out for GLUED binding because the book will be negatively effected by gravity (it being upright for a long period of time). In addition, glued binding will begin to split after reading which has always been an issue with avid readers.
What I do when I'm on a mission is call random stores across the United States and hope they have a copy. That's how I found Punisher MAX, Vol. 4 and the Death of Captain America omnibus.
Hope this helps a bit. Good hunting!
