The term "tradeable rare" has been in use by the RuneScape community as far back as I can remember (I started playing in 2004). The noun form of the term 'rare' has always been interchangeable with the term 'discontinued'.
Jagex advertises certain SOF/TH items as "tradeable rares". By re-releasing these items only two possibilities exist...
1) Jagex knows that their players defined the term "tradeable rare" as interchangeable with "discontinued", yet use it deceptively to sell spins.
This constitutes an act of unforgivable malice.
2) Jagex does not know that the players defined the term "tradeable rare" as interchangeble with "discontinued", and just 'happen' to independently come up with a noun form of the term 'rare'. A noun form of the word 'rare' does not exist in any dictionaries, nor anywhere else to my knowledge except for within the RS playerbase.
This constitutes an act of unforgivable ignorance.
Jagex clearly has a definition of "tradeable rare" that is different from us players. The sole purpose of this thread is to get an official definition.

See page 15 post 5 for why re-releasing is a counter-productive business model.
