Re:
There's a difference between rare and desirable. What are we talking here?
I mentioned it on a similar thread before but I think some of the rarest production bikes these days will be the top end bikes from the big boys.
Since I've been on this site I've seen more Yeti C-26's then 1990 Marin Team's, the later Orange Formula's or Ridgeback Ti's.

Raleigh/dynatech Decade. I know there has been one or two on here, but I'd imagine few were sold? Sublime.
I think things that are one offs or custom builds aren't rare in the same sense as limited run production bikes.
If a bloke builds something in his shed, it's not rare, its a one-off. If a company that builds 10,000 bikes a year does a series of 500, and few of them survive to the present day, I'd call that rare, just the same as if a volume manufacturer commences production of something and cuts off at a low number.
