Even, rare can also be some classic postmark with very little use...or the condition and conservation status of any stamp...or the legitimate postal use in some areas (colonies. occupation of war, etc)

With many ebay sellers rare is anything that you can no longer get at the post office.


Russ is right. Apparently the official ebay rarity conversion table currently reads:
R=Common
RR=Common but I need to shift it
RRR=Not quite everyone has it
RRRR!!Look!!= Slightly unusual

To cut a long story short, I've just typed multiple Rs into ebay's search engine. There are JOB LOTS of stamps on offer at under £2 rated RRRRRR, and a Chinese ski resort cachet, as yet unbid for with a reserve of £3.30, rated RRRRRRR!

Forget post WW1 Germany! Forget 1993 Yugoslavia! Forget K2 Zimbabwe! The greatest hyperinflation ever seen is the current devaluation of the R in Ebayland.

Anyway, I've got this old stamp I was thinking of selling on ebay. How many Rs should I put on? Remember total description length allowed is 80 characters:



Oh, and please no comments about the size of my Rs.
