Can primers for PCR be duplicated?

Complete beginner question here, don't laugh: If I have some primers that have been synthesized, and I am close to running out of them, is there any way to duplicate them / amplify them / synthesize more of them myself? I don't know the sequences. Or is my only option to buy more? Thanks

Do you know the sequence they amplify?

Offtopic, so this one will be closed.

But as the answer is very short:

No, there is no way to make more primers rather than buying more.
And if you may find a way, it's going to be lots more expensive than ordering more.
