Sounds like good business if you can get it.
I was thinking of remanufacturing these as they seem to be an expensive item for what they are. Anyone interested in 20 for £5 inc shipping?

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.
