rare or difficult to purchase regularly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could be a limited edition item that isn\u2019t sold anymore, an item that may have been sold only at a particular venue (For example, band t-shirts that were only sold at a specific concert), etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This label is particularly common when it comes to books that are sold on
