Don't think there's a way to yell 'buying rares' and wait for offers unfortunately,come to think of it that would save sooo much time.
Usually the Soviet Union,USA or UK are good sources of rares.
If you have an excess of anything energy,metal,supplies etc it's always a good idea to try and set up a trade with a country before trying to buy from them,makes them think more favourably of you and I think if I recall it actually makes it cheaper to buy from them too.The Soviets always seem to want supplies.
In the diplomacy tab if you click on a resources icon it will sort by who has the most of that resource,that can help to speed things up a bit.
I can't remember who is responsible for the convoy for overseas trade,the buyer or the seller so always make sure you have enough convoys.
