Everyone chucks around the word "Rare" or even "Ultra Rare" when they're trying to sell their Oakleys. It's quite annoying at times (I know @Dallas O Hog hates it...and I know he's not alone!!)

What is your definition of "Rare" when it comes to referring specifically to Oakleys?

I see it more in terms of "absolute numbers" of an item. But then, how rare is "rare"?

Also, which is considered rarer? A limited edition run of 100 pieces out of 10,000 "publicly released" versions, or 500 pieces out of 1 million released?

P.S. This is how the Oxford Dictionary defines "RARE". And it doesn't talk about "incidence" (e.g. <1/1000 or 1/1500). And it also defines "rare" as being "qualitative" c.f. 1.2 - "unusually good or remarkable".

ADJECTIVE (rarest, rarer)
1 (of an event, situation, or condition) not occurring very often. e.g. ‘a rare genetic disorder’.

with infinitive ‘it's rare to see a house so little altered’​

1.1 (of a thing) not found in large numbers and so of interest or value. e.g. ‘one of Britain's rarest birds, the honey buzzard​

1.2 Unusually good or remarkable. e.g. ‘he plays with rare sensitivity’​

The professor has spoken.

I’d say that rare is an item that isn’t seen often that is at least 10 years old. I wouldn’t consider and of luxes junk rare. Just because something has limited numbers I don’t think it’s rare. Rare also ties into supply and demand

There's rarity of the item, and rarity of availability.
If I have the only one on fleabay, that qualifies as "rare".
If I have it, and you just have to have it, then it's REALLY rare!
