<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 3242581, member: 80804&quot;]On a scale, yes, a definition of scarce is something somewhat more common or easier to find (and/or less expensive) than something which is genuinely rare (however you want to quantify &quot;rare&quot;).</p><p>Unfortunately, both have become such throw-away hype words through flagrant overuse in ad copy in places like ebay that I&#039;m not sure there&#039;s any solidly quantifiable meaning or scale to which one can peg either term any longer.&nbsp; However, &quot;scarce&quot; tends to describe a somewhat less rare item than one which is legitimately &quot;rare&quot;, however you might quantitatively define the word rare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
