Well, if there are, I haven't found 'em.  The ones for the LX and MX
don't fit the ME Super and some of the other Pentax bodies I've tried
them on very well (I believe the "Program" bodies I tried had the
problem, too), and the ones I use for the Leica, which fit the ME Super,
don't fit the LX and MX.

As for the price ... if you can find one at a better price, let me
know.  They are out there, but finding them and getting then into the
country can be a bit of a hassle and quite time consuming.  Some people
have neither the time, the temperament, nor the resources to track down
little bits and pieces like this - and some find them quite valuable.

The LX as many little bits and pieces that are getting hard to find. 
Grips are getting scarce and expensive.  Have you looked for the strap
attachments recently, or seen what prices they command.  Heck, I believe
it was Bob Sullivan who bought an entire LX on eBay just to get a set of
attachments, and then turned around and resold the camera.  That's a lot
of time and expense just to obtain a little item like that.  

Why don't you share with us where you got the $3.00 buttons, and then
check them to see which cameras they properly fit, how well they're
made, etc.  What you may not realize is that the button, in order to
work properly on an LX with the shutter lock collar, has to be of a size
to fit within the collar upon depressing the release, otherwise it will
hit the collar and prevent release of the shutter, and, if the button
has too large of a diameter, by only a millimeter or so, it will hit the
shutter speed dial on the LX and hang up, and, if large enough, will
obscure part of the shutter speed dial on both cameras as well as making
it more difficult to adjust the shutter speed.
