Look on ebay for thin stylus - a few cents to $20 seems to cover the range.
I got 10 for $4 when I got my tablet and am using my 4th one after 3 yrs.

A THIN stylus for the iPad seems to cost over $75:

Since a stylus should be pretty simple sans moving parts, how does it
work and, more importantly, can we craft one out of readily available
materials that has a thin (pen-like) point?
