What is the best place to buy trackcaps from, in bulk (around 10+ caps).

I typically get mine from Ebay.

... one possible source is eBay shop "thinkpan", but there are many... see e.g. all all these shops. Beware of the slow shipment time if bought from e.g. China...

I also recall seing a forum member offering TrackPoint caps quite cheap on the Marketplace on this forum, but I don't recall who or when exactly... use the "Search" function, and ye shall find!

Bought mine from NewEgg. They had a variety pack.

Man, a few years ago, I had a good variety of colors for the eraser heads. I got them from some guy on Ebay who is now a suspended seller. He must got more orders than he could handle and just let it go. Sucks cause he was good at the time and had blue, red, purple, etc..

Nudemike?

I'd like to get some other colors in cat's tongue and rubber too. Were there any others besides red, black, blue and purple?

Yeah. NudeMike. I dunno what happened to him. I just ordered some yesterday from some lady in NY. She has red, raspberry, green and black. 2.00 each item.

Here is the link to this seller: Trackpoint37

Interesting timing. Those weren't there yesterday.

I found that lady on the Notebook forums. I found her ebay username and just sent her a message. She sells them randomly. I can't wait to get these things now:)

Those are awesome!

I love blue, but I can't find them anywhere.

The red is just the dead sexy classic look, but I like being able to change them out. I'm using one of the classic non cat tongue ones, and it's been great, and doesn't show any wear, but it gets slippery from time to time.

I just got the trackpoints from that lady. She sent them from NY and they got to San Diego, CA in two days! Great seller. I wish she had some blue ones though.

Blue like this or darker?

muffd · #14 Post by **muffd** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 6:55 pm

The darker ones. They look like these ones. http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Blue-IBM-ThinkPad ... 18Q2el1247

Does not look like my T42 will be able to use these ones though. I thought they would all be the same.

Immortal LuD · #15 Post by **Immortal LuD** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 7:39 pm

Those darker ones are awesome... Those are the ones I like!

muffd · #16 Post by **muffd** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 7:43 pm

I really like those ones too but am not willing to pay $8.00 shipped for those 2.

Immortal LuD · #17 Post by **Immortal LuD** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 7:59 am

I am, but not for ones that won't fit my T42!

I know what the listing says, but a cap that fits a 760 will fit a T61. If a cap that fits a T42 fits a T61, then I think you may be in luck.
