| - For the most part these rares either hold their value or increase in value, like that of a stock, since no more rares will ever enter the economy and the number of discontinued rare items may in fact decrease, for example if a player destroys the item. It was suggested in a live video by Mod Mark that if a player with a large number of rares was banned, consideration would be given to reintroducing them into the game, possibly via the Grand Exchange.
- Discontinued items and holiday drops are items that cannot be obtained through the game and, therefore, their numbers are not increasing. However, some of these items may still be obtained through trading with other players. Because the number of these items does not increase, players often refer to these items as rares. These items are now very few in number and are very expensive. They were taken out of the game because players gained money by not putting in hard work into the game, and some players complained that they did not get one. Image:Santa head.PNG

Image:Santa head.PNG Holiday drops are items that were dropped on certain holidays, such as Christmas or Easter. These items are also few in number and are very expensive. Holiday drops that are wieldable are often worn by players to either show their wealth, for fashion or to show how long they've played. These rares are also a very important part of Runescape's economy, many players work hard with skills to achieve a long-term goal of owning a rare and discontinued holiday item. For the most part Rares either hold their value or grow, like that of a stock. In some special occasions, such as the "Unbalanced Trade Removal" update the price of rares will drop, but players can be certain that if they hold a rare long enough it will eventually be worth it because no more rares will ever enter the economy. Items such as dragon chainbodies have high prices compared to other non-discontinued items, but will eventually fall because it is possible to get more of them, and in the case of tradable holiday items, this is not a possible reason for the price to lower. A big concern that some players have about buying a holiday item is that in the future they might release an update to make them untradable or even remove them, though it is unlikely that Jagex would ever do that.
