Replacement thumb sticks for DualShock 2

[Snatch1414]

I found one website that had them for $8 a pair. Anyone know of anything cheaper? I have a silver PS2 slim I found in the wild but the one stick is.....sticky. Like someone spilled coke on it or something. It's rubbery so it won't clean off. I'd like to fix this one since the silver matches the console. Thanks

I pulled out one of my Dual Shock 3's and the analogs are the same. They are both sticky on top now. Must be something with the material where it deteriorates over time or something. At any rate, replacement sticks can be had all over eBay.
