Rarity

A new customer.

 "I've got an aviary, and just want a small selection of birds in there."
 - Okay, what would you like?
 "How much are the zebra finches?"
 - £5 each.
 "Okay, I'll have a couple of them. How much are these other birds here?"
 - £15 each
 "Hmm. Okay, a pair of them as well please."
 - No problem.
 "To be honest, I'd really like to have something special in there too.
 - Okay...
 "Something unusual. Something rare."
 - Right, okay.
 "How much is this pair?"
 - £120
 "A little out of my price range! Okay, how about these two?"
 - They are £50 for the pair.
 "Goodness. Still too expensive."
 - Okay
 "Haven't you got something cheap, say £10 each, but incredibly rare?"
 - ...

Generally, scarcity dictates price. If there's not a lot of them, it's gonna' be expensive. Cheap and rare just doesn't exist.
