Aside from Sarco Inc and Gunbroker, I can't even find any parts left like a bolt or lower trigger assembly. Are parts for RPDs really this rare?

The bolt and carrier as well as the stock/grip assembly is rare because 07/02s use them to make post samples on semi auto receivers.

I have a kit missing those exact parts because of that.

This is exactly what has happened. You may be able to find a cheap post sample and have it cut up for the parts kit.

Mine was fun while it lasted, but like my FNC, I stopped shooting it due to lack of (spare) parts.

I love shooting my RPD. If something breaks, I'll worry about replacing/repairing it then.

We've gone through this cycle a few times in the past few years. As mentioned the parted out guns tend to have the BCG and lower go first due to demand from 07/02s.

If a new batch is imported (and there are a lot of RPDs still out there to import and cut up) and you want a single kit - buy two. When they first come in the prices are extremely reasonable compared to once they start getting bought up.

At the time I'm posting this there are two is one kit at $595ea + $25 shipping with a drill demil barrel still available.
