Why is it that if an individual or store…?

Why is it that if an individual or store is selling something “rare” or “super rare” that they seem to always have more than one or two?

I’m not talking about avid collectors, specialty stores or fanatics. Just simple stores and individuals.

If it is so rare, shouldn’t it be hard to find more than one?

e.g. games, baseball cards, antiques, collectibles, books, etc.
Why are people such sheep and fall for this ploy?
Violated2, Creek is a reference to my ethnicity not an actual creek – I am Muskogee Creek.

It’s simply a sales ploy. People fall for it because they “think” that every “Tom, Dick and Harry” won’t have exactly what they have. Sad but true…most people fall for ploys like this……especially the inexperienced shopper. I hope that this answers your question. God bless.
(I like your name…it’s very unique and beautiful)

Old Books, Rare Friends Old Books, Rare Friends
$3.48

Louisa May Alcott once wrote that she had taken her pen for a bridegroom. Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern, friends and business partners for fifty years, have in many ways taken up their pens and passion for literature in much the same way. The "Holmes & Watson" of the rare book business, Rostenberg and Stern unlocked the hidden secret of Louisa May Alcott's life when they discovered her pseudonym, A.M. Barnard, along with her anonymously published "blood and thunder" stories on subjects like transvestitism, hashish smoking, and feminism. Old Books, Rare Friends describes their mutual passion for books and literary sleuthing as they take us on their earliest European book buying jaunts. Using what they call ""Finger-spitzengefuhl,"" the art of evaluating antiquarian books by handling, experience, and instinct, they treat us to some of their greatest discoveries amid the mildewed basements of London's booksellers after the Blitz. We experience the thrill of finding one of the earliest known books printed in America between 1617-1619 by the Pilgrim Press and learn about the influential role of publisher-printers from the 15th century.Like a precious gem, Old Books, Rare Friends is a book to treasure about the companionship of two rare friends and their shared passion for old books.
