A bicycle is considered Rare in the USA when it was originally sold by a department store as a low end piece-O-crap and listed on Craigslist by a toothless huckster for the price of a nice used Hyundai (of which identical bikes were smelted down to build). Truly "Rare" bikes will be top listed daily for a minimum of two years for our viewing pleasure.
