If you want to say “very”, Etta, say “very unusual”. “Unique” stands by itself.

I always hear “very unique” or “very perfect” as an ellipsis for “very (nearly) unique” or “very (nearly) perfect.” It seems to me it is a little finer shade of meaning, somewhere between “very unusual” and “unique.” Of course, I also hear a construction such as “The dishes need washed” as an ellipsis for “The dishes need (to be) washed,” so it may be just me.
