Rare for me is my Savage 99 TD in 250-3000 of 1915 in unfired condition and my Colt Custom SCG 1911 45 ACP ( one in Canada in 2016 )... JP

The definition of rare is fairly well known, rarely is rare used properly on the E.E.

If you have a rare gun that people are interested in.... you will rarely need to describe it as rare in order to get attention.

In terms of EE, I don't care if someone calls something rare or not, as long as it is appropriately priced. I know what I'm looking for, I know what is rare or not common on the used market, and if I don't, a quick search gives me additional info. What frustrates me more are little omissions wrt the condition - sometimes inadvertent for sure, sometimes i suspect not.

....Rarity, desirability, and value don't necessarily go hand in hand.

That's the truth of the matter right there, too.

rare on the EE means you can find another listed, but cheaper.

I have reported this post to the mods for excessive use of the word "rare".

ive got a M91 mosin on a 1894 Châtellerault receiver with a 1927 Tikka stepped barrel. one of 3000 ever made. with what would have been lost or converted over the wars i would assume its quiet rare.
