Mine too. I'd jumped on it if it were BXA size.

I run CXA on my 15" lathe.  Picked up a tool post with 8 holders for $400. It was barely used, had a little rust rash on one side of the holders, but cleaned up nicely.

I have an Aloris AXA on the Clausing 108, I bought it used with some tool holders and it works well. Always need more tool holders it seems but I make do. I search for a deal once in awhile but haven't found one that trips my trigger yet.

I bought up holders back when they were cheaper than they are now. And still never have enough.

I have an Aloris BXA. The holders are mostly Aloris. A couple are Imports. And with the Imports I have there is a difference in quality. So, I dedicate those Import holders for not so import tooling. Have had the Aloris for decades and can't complain at all. With the Clausing lathe, Buck chuck and Aloris, I can hold tenths all day long.

The import holders, there are some good ones and there are some bad ones.  They are hit and miss.  I will say the last few I've bought are way much nicer than some of the one's I bought 20 years ago. They have made improvements to their quality. 
I prefer to buy Aloris brand holders but who can afford them? I sure can't anymore. Even the second hand ones are expensive and most are worn out, too!

I agree, when you can find them used the wear is basically unacceptable so the search goes on and on.
