This isn’t one of the usual deals we bring you, but where better to share this than a ThinkPad blog? Overseas reseller Meritline has TrackPoints on sale for an incredible bargain. How does $0.39 each, or $0.99 for a 4 pack, SHIPPED to your door sound? Unfortunately they only have the Soft Dome style, which I don’t particularly prefer. My multitude of ThinkPads and ThinkPad-style keyboards all have the Soft Rim cap on them. Luckily I have a stash of those handy. 
The website notes the caps will ship within 2-5 days via Hong Kong Air Mail and most customers will receive their caps within 2 weeks. If you order some, let us know which you bought and how long it takes to get to you!

Thanks for the heads-up. I tried to order a bunch of these and added them to my shopping cart ok, but clicking the checkout button waits forever to the page to load, and eventually times out. The sale supposedly ends today but I guess I’ll keep trying through the weekend anyway.
Me again. I managed to place an order a few hours later, though the checkout server was still extremely slow.
Me again again. I got ten packs of them (40 caps for 10 bucks!) and they arrived a few days ago. They work fine. They have a slightly harder feel than the IBM/Lenovo caps that I guess could be considered slightly worse. On the other hand, they may not wear out as fast. Overall, this was a great deal, thanks for posting it. I was always annoyed at the expensive OEM caps causing me to keep using them even after they were basically worn out.
They seem to be $3.99 for 4 now. Still not outrageous, though 4 times the earlier bargoon price. . .
