The rarer they are the higher they will be priced. Some guys see gold in the most common of parts too. Take an old car that hasn't seen reproduction parts for some decades, it seems everybody knows it's rarity and their price goes up. There are times when it is more feasible to buy a whole car for that special part then sell what's left and maybe recoup your investment.
But for sure, useable parts will only get harder to find and more expensive as time goes by.
