Best way to buy trackpoint caps

Now that my T42p is back I'd like to give it a new trackpoint cap. Also the X61t needs a new trackpoint cap and work is buying me a keyboard with trackpoint which will also require caps.

I bought cap collection once and discovered that I like soft dome best, so I don't want to purchase several cap collections only to get 2 caps of the type I don't like per usable cap. On the other hand 500 bulk cap pack is a bit expensive at about 200 Euros and that's about 1 cap per month for the rest of my life.

Is there a way to buy 10-50 original soft dome caps at a reasonable price?

Like is mentioned above - Ebay.

I've had good luck in the past with this supplier for the various little parts needed for maintaining Thinkpads, screw kits, decals, etc.

I lurk ebay, and normal get a 10 pack for $5.00 shipped. Some times it takes many days, but they will show up.
