How do you know when a record will be RARE?

Hi Guys, well.. ive been shopping vinyl for 7 months, and im very hapy, however, sometimes I dont buy a record for buying other.. then... after a month or so.. i dont find the record i didnt buy but I do find the one i bought. SO.. in mi Mind is: WHy I didnt buy that record instea of this?

and sometimes some records say LIMITED PROMO but they wont be that Limited, by example:

Yahel [LTD PROMO] :: Devotion :: Wonderboy

Ive been seen this Record on Chemical for months... but when i say Months are Months.

And Other Records that Doesnt say nothing like Limited or something, it converts to a RARE Record... so....

There is a way that I can Expect something at least a high per cent?
or is just a Lucky thing?

Maybe DJ MIckey Mike should know this, since he is a nice Vinyl Hunter

EDIT: or is that Yahel-Devotion 1 Million Limited copies?

who cares...as long as you like the vinyl, that's all that matters. If your digging for the pleasure of building your collection, that's fine, but IMO, unless your a serious vinyl junkie ala Jazzy Jeff, Shadow, Cut Chemist and the other real DJs, be prepared to unload your entire savings on trying to find that 12" that everybody would LIKE to have.
Otherwise, be like me and the many others...see it, hear it, like it, buy it!
Happy hunting!

I would pay $$$ the record if its really rare. Money comes and goes right, as long as your happy.
