Discontinued ?
Mind you, given the standard of language employed in the retail trade these days it could be almost anything. Frequently I see items described as, "pre-owned", "pre-loved" or "pre-enjoyed". What ever happened to "second-hand"?

Withdrawn?
Hey Baldric, discontinued is mine!

Soooorry !

"Shuffled off this mortal coil"
Antediluvian?
invalidated

That ^^ means from Australia, isn't it?

Antiquated
Don't know Baldric. Don't even know if I spelled it right.
Unobtanium?
Elusive?

When you mentioned records, (45s) flump1.....I almost had the word you're looking for, but can't just bring it to mind now.
Isn't there someone on here who is into Northern Soul? I bet he would know.
Failing that.....how about "archived"?
