Wouldn't it be nice if the catalog has some search mode for out of the ordinary
colored items like prototype colors andsoone?
I have several dark purple Halberd Elaborate 6123 that might interest buyers.
But it's not something you generally look for if you don't know such an item
excists.
Maybe a search in the catalog named HTF or Hard to Find, rare or whatever term
Catmin chooses?
It would be nice for me/us as seller(s) but also for the buyer that looks for
something different he/she otherwise would not find.

If you want rare and hard to find go to ebay, they have tons of listings with
rare and hard to find in the title
I am sorry if I don't understand what you mean, or, if I do understand I thought
BL members were not that charmed about the other site.
My question was if it would be nice or could be possible to make another search
term for BL members that want to sell or buy items that are not in the normal
color scheme. Otherwise they might not know the existence of it.

It's a comment on the amount of listings on eBay that state the item being sold
is hard to find or rare, when in fact it really isn't.
It's a reflection of how people out there are trying to make a quick buck out
of cheap pieces, and also the suckers which fall for it. But then again, they
are only suckers because they don't know about Bricklink

rare and hard to find in the title
in green for years before it was in a set. Now it's common.

Well, we all know rare means ' not many of' but that doesn't mean it has a lot
of value. It also has to do with how collectible it is. For instance my dark
purple halberd may only excist 20 times, in Lego terms rare.
But if not many people want those items it won't be worth a lot.
On the other hand if people collect these odd colors that have not been in any
set they might want to find them.
Maybe we can find some term to let BL members find them.
Maybe someone can find a term that fits these mathers.
Suggestion 1: UCS, uncommon color scheme. ( somehow I have the idea this is already
in use).
Suggestion 2: VUC, very uncommon color.
Suggestion 3: CUTE, color uncommon though excisting.
Well al English or English American speaking will maybe come up with better ideas.
I vote for Color Uncommon Though Existing. Great acronym along the lines of
SNOT and BURP but nicer sounding.

I know SNOT, that's slippery I believe (as a Lego surface I mean), but BURP?
I always read that you shouldn't swallow small (or big) Lego parts?
So why BURP?

SNOT = Studs not on top, a building style.

I think it's a nice idea, but I have one question; what would be the definition
of rare?
I think if left to individual sellers it could be open to abuse by some.
Maybe it could be automatically applied to items that are not in any set?
Or are there large quantities of these, maybe from PAB?

Yeah, that's one of the big problems with ebay. "HTF" is so over-used that it
has become meaningless.

That's a good idea, and it solves the maintenance problem. Once a piece appears
in a set, then it would lose it's "difficult to obtain " designation.

In fact, it is already possible to search for parts that do not appear in sets.
It's an obscure search feature, though. I doubt if many new BL'ers would find
it. I guess I would say that this search feature is HTF...

Playing around with that search feature a bit more, it doesn't seem as useful
as I first thought. I don't see a way to get it to display common parts in uncommon
colors.

Try this type of search, there are 'tons' of parts not in any set
