Maybe not so rare now.  Just come across these this morning:

Cisco SG500XG-8F8T
SG500XG-8F8T-K9
	
● 8*10 Gigabit Ethernet 10GBase-T copper port
● 8*10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+
● 1 Gigabit Ethernet management port

It's not cheap though.

Netgear seem to also now have some 10G Copper options:

Hopefully the prices will drop to a more reasonable level as time goes by.
