Has anyone noticed the prices people pay for TrackPoint caps on eBay? I saw
one auction where someone paid $15 plus $4.20 shipping for *ONE* cap. The
guy that sells these caps usually gets $6 + $4.20 for one cap. And he's
buying them from IBM at $5 for two caps with free shipping, just like
anyone else can. Go figure.
