Harder than some in the sense that material comes up for sale less frequently. There are some expensive pre-war stamps, including overprinted fiscals. Here's an example of a current auction lot

Niue is not expensive to collect and has many very beautiful stamps. Niue and the Cook Islands were annexed to New Zealand. Semi-independent now and you do not have to be a Savage to collect these works of art. Say hello to the Queen. Have fun.

British Guiana would be expensive even without the Penny Magenta. There are many very expensive stamps in early British Guiana.

Of the areas that I collect*, New Britain seems to have the highest average values. New Britain is sometimes collected as part of a German area collection as it was the former German New Guinea. There aren't many stamps, but the average CV has to be several hundred to pushing a thousand dollars. A very high percentage of its total issues are valued in low-to-mid thousands and high hundreds. Only a small handful have CV's of under $100, and then not by much. New Britain isn't up there with British Guiana and some others, just pointing it out as an expensive area to collect, with basically no cheap and easy stamps at all.

* I don't collect New Britain per se. I don't have any New Britain stamps and it's fairly likely I never will. I have New Britain pages in my German Colonies album, and I'll be certain to save any that come along, but I won't be spending any time or money purposefully building a collection of New Britain stamps.
