Whoa, that's pretty expensive.  You can get a brand new one from Wico for $25.

I have  a few trackballs that looked like that when I got 'em, and after I took em apart and steel-wooled the outside of the bearings and gave 'em a teeny amount of oil/grease, they are totally awesome, although I suspect that nothing quite feels like a brand new set of rollers..

You thought that two for $25 was high?

He was probably considering the $40 Buy-It-Now option for 2 cruddy old Trackballs that probably need new bearings & rollers deal. (Not to mention new balls! Those balls are a bit crusty!... No wait... That's what I over-heard my sister-in-law saying to her husband... LOL!!!)
