Sorry - where did you get that idea? Putting up an add, looking for "un-used" new/used rods isn't cheap - just trying to be wise with money. If I don't have to blow an extra $20, I won't.
BUT, I completely agree - rods is a vital part of the build - if I can't find any options on this (or other) forums, then I WILL but them new w/ the APR bolts - you're right on.
SO... you have a set of rods for sale?

I did a comparison with ebay rods and eagle rods yesterday.
Eagle is on the left. Significantly smaller and lighter. I will weigh them out tonight and get exact weight differences.

the 5/16" arp2000 bolt maxspeeding rods on ebay look to be lighter than the eagle rods I had.

I have a set of manley rods I can weigh for comparison if anyone is interested in the data.
