Woodcraft no longer makes the Arete rollerball kit, and it is one of my customer favorites. Does anyone have some kits they want to sell?

Hmm, I might have some stashed away... Give me a little time to see if I can locate them.
It is rather sad, Woodcraft/Woodriver seem to be dropping a lot of pen kits lately. I've been unable to find the stuff I usually turn from them for most of this year, extending back to the latter third, maybe half of last year. I kind of wonder about the health of the company. My local Woodcraft, when I first started turning in 2020, was a hopping, happenin place. The whole store was staffed by all these guys, I'd say 50-70 or so, and they all KNEW THEIR STUFF! Was like that for a couple/three years. The last...two years or so....all those skilled woodworkers have left, store is staffed by mostly younger guys, and I don't think many or even any of them actually do any woodworking... The store is totally dead 90% of the time, and if there is anyone in there now, it remains almost totally silent, people seem to shuffle around quietly.
Its been my go-to store for everything for a while now...but, I do worry....honestly not sure if its going to survive whatever is happening. The local Rockler, which is a ways away, seems to be more lively, but it, too, isn't quite as lively as 2020-2022. Dunno if there is a third local option for woodworkers...its basically Woodcraft and Rockler, right?
