scarcity value

GBK English to Romanian Bus/Financial Economics
Definition from Wikipedia:
Scarcity value is the economic factor that increases an item's relative price based more upon its relatively low supply. Whereas the prices of newly-produced manufactured products depends mostly on the cost of production (the cost of inputs used to produce them, which in turn reflects the scarcity of the inputs), the prices of many goods -- such as antiques, rare stamps, and those raw materials in high demand -- reflects the scarcity of the products themselves.
Example sentences:
The improving economic situation makes up for fairly small borrowing needs increasing the scarcity value for Sweden’s triple-A bonds (Incisive Media Ltd.)
Then there is the simple fact that about ten times more apartments have been built than villas since 2002, so villas have a scarcity value as well as being perceived as the better lifestyle choice. (Axia Fx)
If it's common for a company to miss a profits forecast, then, by definition, it's unusual for a company rarely to miss a forecast. Such a company, therefore, has a scarcity value and its shares should be sought-after. (The Financial Times Limited)

Este vorba de bijuteriile si monedele care au, in afara de valoarea intrinseca a aurului, si valoarea raritatii, sau chiar a unicitatii lor. Ele au fost pastrate de BCR, care si-a facut in acest fel o colectie impresionanta. (Business.ROL.ro)
Pana in prezent, pe plan mondial, au avut loc milioane de emisiuni de cartele telefonice. Tirajele sunt cuprinse intre cateva exemplare si cateva milioane. La fel ca si in cazul marcilor postale, valoarea este data de raritatea exemplarului respectiv. Cu cat tirajul este mai redus, cu atat valoarea cartelei este mai mare. (Capital.ro-30 sept 1999)
