"Rare" can be somewhat simulated by "expensive". If they produce
the "rarer" parts in smaller quantities, then those parts should
cost more to produce. They should charge a correspondingly higher
price. If they sell a 2x4 brick for 1 cent (whatever) then they
should sell garage doors for $10 each if they cost a lot to produce
in the small quantities. That may discourage people from
trying to corner the market in those parts. They'll be available,
and cheaper than auction droppings, but won't be dirt cheap.
