Finally, the de facto standard for the term "rare" has been declared.
The seller says, "These gramophones are RARE, RARE, RARE!!! There are only believed to be a few thousand of these machines produced each year" and in his second answer in Questions For Seller he writes, "These are Rare because they just are, thats what the listing for the other 20 on eBay at the moment say "Rare and collectable" so if 20 sellers of the same machine say it is it just has to be!!" Hence, if only a few thousand of a thing is made, we now know that it is indeed "rare". Wow...that's profound, "They are rare because they just are." I will now finally be able to sleep at night...What a relief...

But then, I have an affection for times when the truly stupid (i.e., too lazy to think, not incapable of thinking) get poked fun at right to their faces and still they don't realize it (i.e., the second question posted to the seller).
