magnate.net is about the only place you're gonna find them.

Magnate

I've found a couple on ebay, but magnate is the only place to get the new ones. You can order them direct from magnate, or thru Amazon. Buy a couple at a time to save on shipping.

You can use any plunge roundover, or plunge classical bits, and a decent bottom cutting straight bit. The ropes and barley twists I havent found anywhere else.

The Magnate bits are GREAT for the money.

I still see the Trend sets for these advertised, even though Trend discontinued their branded version of the same thing a long time ago.
However, I'd have thought your main problem getting s/h bits is that they'll probably be inadequately described. The manufacturers describe their bits fully, but people selling s/h ones are likely to just say 12 router bits, leaving you to work out what they are.
Try Heleta for some of them.
carbide products - router bits - Carving These are cheap as chips and the quality is adequate.
Heleta have all sorts of interesting bits.
Regis kindly brought some over for me.

Cheers

Peter
