Not Rare Over There	comment	So you need something. Maybe you need your equipment repaired, maybe life will become so much easier if you have a certain piece of equipment, maybe you need the next item in a Chain of Deals or perhaps you're outright looking for the next Plot Coupon. After much effort you track down the only source of this rare good or service (or perhaps try and fail to procure it from other sources) ready for yet another quest or to pay through the nose in exchange...and they're astounded you're so desperate to get your hands on something so easy to get hold of. Occasionally the trope is downplayed, with the item in question being hard to obtain, but granting a high yield (for example a rare ore which you can dig up tonnes of after finding your way to an isolated mine) or something minor compared with the rest of what you get (for example, requiring just a single coin made of a particular alloy or a special magic item in a massive hoard) making just one a trivial reward. This trope is a close relative of both We Have Those, Too and Worthless Yellow Rocks. Not only does the person you're addressing have what you're looking for, but they're amazed you had to expend so much effort to find it (or maybe they're aware it's not easy for most people to find, but they have the means to get it easily). In a Video Game this might be used to lampshade a Commonplace Rare. Contrast Bulk Buy Only for when the protagonists have more of something than they want. Remember that someone simply giving away things they have a large amount of doesn't count; it must also be what someone else is searching for. Also known as Shaggy Dog MacGuffin.

Not Rare Over There / int_100d4e39	comment	In Aladdin: The Series, Al and Iago go on a quest for the legendary Orb of Macana, the only thing that could cure a sick Genie. They have to overcome three arduous trials, and after completing each one, the guardian of the Orb goes to a chamber and retrieves it... from among thousands of identical orbs. The guardian complains that at this rate he'll never be able to get rid of them all.

Not Rare Over There / int_13d88835	comment	Cowboy Bebop (2021). Spike Spiegel makes an offhand comment that diamonds are hard to move on the black market, but doesn't say why. A later episode has a boss of The Syndicate eager to forge an alliance with a rival crime cartel on Neptune, saying it rains diamonds over there. If so the Syndicate couldn't deal in diamonds as their rivals on Neptune could flood the market at any time, sending the price of diamonds plummeting, hence their eagerness to establish a monopoly and control the price.

Americas: In the twentieth and twenty-first episodes, it is shown that some pre-Columbian civilizations used gold as a normal metal, and while it was deemed valuable back then it just didn't have the connotation of being a rare luxury due to how abundant it was. Conversely, in other episodes we see civilizations that didn't know about gold, but considered the likes of bronze the ultimate rarity, to the point that even the making of the metal was a treasured secret

For that, they have to travel to the farthest reaches of the game's continent and prawl huge and complex dungeons filled with tough monsters of all flavors. And the Crystals they manage to obtain even turn out of be somewhat damaged which has repercussions. Once in the facility — lo and behold, in one of the storerooms, there is a container chock-full of Memory Crystals and another one full of Control Cubes.

Not Rare Over There / int_26dd903b	comment	Gold was so common on pre-Crisis Krypton that it was considered a cheap metal. When Jor-El first tried building a spaceshipnote (Not the little one that would eventually carry baby Kal-El), he was mocked for using something as heavy as gold; but the ship used anti-gravity, so the weight didn't matter. He had made it out of gold as a cost-saving measure.

After he does, the Do-Do replies "Yes, I'm really the last of the Do-Dos. Ain't I, fellas?" Suddenly, dozens of Do-Dos appear out of nowhere to answer him. In one of the Three Bears shorts ("The Bee-deviled Bruin"), Papa Bear nearly gets himself killed trying to get honey from a hive in a tree outside his home. Eventually, he gives up and asks for a bottle of ketchup. Mama Bear goes to get it... from a cupboard filled to the brim with jars of honey. She did try to tell him before, but he told her to be quiet.

Mind you, it's obvious the guy who sells it to you initially is ripping you off- he even admits that it's just a piece of crass jewellery. The only reason to buy it rather than just run across the desert is that the conman throws in a rare charm item as a bonus.

Since Jean is in the process of being terraformed, wood and other organics are extremely rare and valuable, while on his planet, the landfills are full of cheap wood items. On the other hand, diamonds are so cheap on Jean that they're thrown away, while a diamond grill he found in the trash would be worth a king's ransom on his planet.

Not Rare Over There / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: The Counterweight Continent has a rather large concentration of gold compared to the Ankh-Morpork area. From a Counterweight perspective, Twoflower's Luggage full of treasure is an appropriate amount to cover his traveling expenses. From Rincewind's perspective it would probably buy a kingdom. And when Rincewind first encountered Twoflower in The Broken Drum and saw his Luggage made of sapient pearwood, he estimated it was worth more than the drinks, the bar and all its inhabitants combined. In Interesting Times we learn that, while living, walking luggages aren't common, many Counterweight nobles own one. The Luggage is still a unique example, being much more proactive and aggressive than most.

Both the Wizarding World and Equestria place high value on the Power Crystal due to it being one of the best methods of enchanting armor. The goblins of Gringotts were willing to haggle thousands of Galleons for a small bag of Painite crystals in order to prevent it from being sold to a Muggle jeweler; which made the sellers the 10th-largest beneficiaries to Gringotts. Said bag of Painite was gathered by Harry Potter and the Cutie Mark Crusaders one evening right outside of Sweet Apple Acres. Even Rarity lampshades how easy Painite is to come by in Equestria.

Not Rare Over There / int_6a8aff51	comment	Vstim the merchant of The Stormlight Archive uses this as his modus operandi: he finds places and people who need something, and he goes somewhere where it's plentiful, and then fills the need. It's not as fun or glamorous as going to rich cities and exotic locations, but it made him successful. For example, the Shin have prohibitions on harming stone, which means that they can't mine or accept metal from a mined source. So Vstim buys junk that's been Soulcast into metal, and sells it to them at a reasonable price. His apprentice Rysn takes his lessons to heart, and when she finds all of the grain on her ship is wormy, rather than trying to scam someone into buying it, she sells them to a tribe that eats worms.

One of the trade goods they reward Pausert with for helping three Karresian children extract themselves from a bad situation is several hundred cases of that liquor, which (after getting into and then out of trouble a couple of times) he subsequently sells for a positively staggering amount of money.

In fact, when they discover that an asteroid heading for Earth is made up of the stuff, this is seen as proof that it was towed there by the Goa'uld from another system. Then, as the series goes on, it turns out to be, while not as common as dirt, common enough in the galaxy that the Tau'ri can eventually get a steady supply. Weapons-grade naquadah is quite a bit rarer, though, and naquadria is damn difficult to find.

When he returns it to Jughead at home, Jughead thanks him, but shows him that he has a cupboard full of them since they tend to get lost or damaged over the years. Another comic has a Mystery Episode where a tycoon tries to steal his own rare statue to claim insurance with the help of his son, who stole the item and hid in some delivery boxes. Due to a later mix-up with the labels, his son got shipped to a remote island, where the statue is commonplace.

Not Rare Over There / int_afaa1b42	comment	A Storm of Swords: Daenarys tries to buy off a mercenary company and offers a casket of wine as a goodwill gift. The mercenary captain complains that this is not enough and demands a whole wagon of caskets instead, to which Daenarys obliges (she's planning to attack them while they're drunk). The captain wasn't aware that Daenarys did just loot an entire city famous for (among other things) its wine.

Getting others is a real pain because you need to either visit another town, or luck out and get one from a villager. Though in the other villages they could have tons of of stuff that you want.

Not Rare Over There / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who DVDs in Region 1 were sold according to popularity—Tom Baker, Peter Davison, and some Jon Pertwee and even William Hartnell stories are common in R1, whereas Sylvester McCoy and Patrick Troughton stories command prices on the resale market in hundreds of dollars owing to their small print runs. Fortunately, all of the Doctors' stories are very, very common in Region 2, to the point where one could buy a decent region-free player, import five or six from the UK, and even with shipping, all of that would be significantly less than the selling price of the R1 edition of "The War Games"!

Turns out he's sick from worry over his daughter and son-in-law (who he exiled previously), so his goons offer you the tickets if you can get them to return. Upon recovering, he's furious when he learn they promised you a reward without his permission...until Mario says what it was, and he bursts into laughter before asking how many you want.

Not Rare Over There / int_dc217e32	comment	PokÃ©mon Reset Bloodlines Inverted with Pokedexes. Rather than every trainer having one, only those who do well enough on specific tests get one due to each one having to be handmade by a PokÃ©mon Professor. Because of this, trainers with PokÃ©dexes are treated with a lot of respect. Inverted as well with evolutionary stones. In the games, while some are rare (like the Dawn Stone or Moon Stone) others like the Fire Stone or the Leaf Stone can be easily purchased in stores for a very cheap price, and the anime doesn't seem to contest this. In the new reality/timeline, though, these stones are much rarer, to the point that some tournaments offer them as prizes for the winner. Played straight with Mega Evolution. While rare in the anime and the games (in the latter, there's usually five or less outside of the Elite Four and Champion who can use it), apparently most gym leaders have a PokÃ©mon that can Mega Evolve and according to Winona, Mega Evolution (or knowing how to handle them) is basically required to compete at League level.

Not Rare Over There / int_e2bb8bee	comment	The Cosmere Vstim the merchant of The Stormlight Archive uses this as his modus operandi: he finds places and people who need something, and he goes somewhere where it's plentiful, and then fills the need. It's not as fun or glamorous as going to rich cities and exotic locations, but it made him successful. For example, the Shin have prohibitions on harming stone, which means that they can't mine or accept metal from a mined source. So Vstim buys junk that's been Soulcast into metal, and sells it to them at a reasonable price. His apprentice Rysn takes his lessons to heart, and when she finds all of the grain on her ship is wormy, rather than trying to scam someone into buying it, she sells them to a tribe that eats worms. It turns out that the Ghostbloods are interested in Roshar because of this. On Roshar, Investiture literally falls from the sky in the form of Stormlight, and it's considerably harder to get in other parts of the Cosmere (i.e. it has to come from another person on Nalthis, and difficult to share on Scadrial). One of their goals is to find a way to bottle and sell it, since it tends to dissipate offworld. When Mraize is explaining the Investiture market to Shallan, he compares it to how water can be valuable in a dry expanse. Shallan is unable to grasp the concept of a dry expanse, because her world has weekly worldwide hurricanes.

Not Rare Over There / int_e5fd2cef	comment	In Triplanetary, the first part of the Lensman series, the Nevians come up with a way to transmute matter into (tremendous amounts of) energy, but the problem is that it needs iron, which is incredibly rare on their world. They power an interstellar spacecraft with the few pounds of it they can manage to scrape together to go out looking for more, which they find ... in the form of a spaceship from Earth. The Nevians and "Tellurians" get off to a rather rocky start because of this, but eventually become friends.

This doesn't happen until the game is near its end, but it means you'll go into the final battle well prepared.

Talk to another NPC from Electopia (Lan's home country), and she'll give you 30 of them, claiming to have 1000 of them on hand. Once Lan returns home, he can talk to another NPC in ACDC Town who gives him 20 of the same chips.

Both men then disappear leaving them with the statue, at which point they find an identical statue in an Indian restaurant. The manager tells them he got it for a couple of pounds at a Portobello Road stall filled with them.

Since Seaton is from Earth and gives some salt to the planet's natives who expressed curiosity, he ends up escalating a war.
