From a late friends Slot Drag Race page. . .
"Note: pause to consider for a moment the difference between "scarce" and "rare." To be ultimately simplistic, "rare" means they made three of them, and you don't have one. "Scarce" means they made one hundred thirty-two thousand of them, and you don't have one. It's a question of inherent or imbued value, long-term time span, source and quantity, rather than current availability, a concept that eventually dawned on comic book and sports card collectors, and will eventually make its way to Beanie Babies (if it hasn't already) and - gasp! - car modelers. Think of it another way: snowflakes are scarce in August, at least where most of us live. January and February demonstrate that they are decidedly not rare. Remember that the next time some guy asks you to pay a 100% premium for a kit that was just discontinued a few months ago. While you're being hosed, there's one sitting on a 30%-off table somewhere that no one wants. Just food for thought, is all."
