Anybody know if the rollers are available. I sold the set I had recently and wasn’t aware a few of the tips were scuffed up and wanted to replace them with good used or new if possible.

I've had rockers that appeared the same and cleaned up well with 400 and WD40 as a lubricant. Steel wool works too.
It was more like a contamination of the material vs an actual issue with the metal itself. I've had this situation on Comp, Crane, Crower, HS, Scorpion, etc. rockers that have sat for a time after teardown. I'm not saying go crazy with the sanding - just enough to remove the material. If they're gouged/pitted, the roller tips really should be replaced.
I'd try cleaning them up some and see what you get. Others may say replace, but this has worked for me without any issues.

I already told the guy I’m game for whatever. I’ll check to see if it’s purely cosmetic and can be polished out then he’ll be happy. I should’ve looked at all of them before shipping. I have seen NOS look the same resulting in what Tom said. But yeah I told him I’d refund worse case and I honestly don’t care. He knows I bit it on priority shipping to WA and knows it was an oversight which it was. He’s cool I just thought I’d see if there was replacements available. I was gonna purchase and ship is so.
