Rare Item Monday

Rare Item Monday (commonly abbreviated as "RIM") is an event where a "Rare" version of an existing item or a whole new item is sold for one day only. This event was first introduced on February 6, 2012, and typically occurs on every Monday of each week. Most of the items released are members-only clothing, but many are non-member clothing items, and very few are den items.
