I did buy my Bordeauxs (dead stock) on the bay. They were a size 10 and I was the only bidder. Got them for a bargain. I couldn't believe it because like you I had never seen them for sale anywhere else. I guess I was extremely lucky. What size are you? If I ever spot a pair I can give yoju a heads up.
The rarest supe for me would be the cracked vanillas. I remember them seeing them on a webshop about a year ago. But not my size. I liked the cw and I just had to own a pair. Never seen them afterwards. Untill recently and I got my chance to buy them.

Over the few years I've been more seriously into supe collecting, I've come across pretty much every pair in my wantlist every now and then but usually at a time when I can't afford to buy any pair and later they've naturally not been available anymore.
The only pair from my list I've never seen in my size anywhere are Baxter-Neal loam/lava cw skates, the ones with the pine tree print on the heel. Been after them since they came out about 2 years ago but only ever seen other sizes, even in the shops when they were released.
I've seen the bordeaux's a few times on the bay but not too often.

Keep the faith Batts, I looked for a couple of years before I got my second pair of bourdeuxs. They're out there, you just have to be "really" patient.

Rarest pair i've gotta go with sabs green cvs!!Only pair i've ever seen and like most of didn't even know they bloody existed.
Really does depend on your size though and how fussy you are about condition.
It's not the size of the feet!!it's the amount of quality on em
