Hi Bob,
Scope carts can either be expensive because the seller considers them valuable, or they can be given away for practically nothing because the owner no longer has room for them. A scope cart takes up a lot of room compared to putting a scope on a desk and scopes are getting smaller.
Best place to look for one is at a ham swap meet. Around the time the swap meet is about to close the sellers get desperate to sell a cart, if they brought one, rather than haul it back home, so you have a lot of negotiating leverage at that point.

Correct onh being expensive, the one built for the 11K scope that can
take rack width equipment can sell for over $150 USD. A friend paid
$200 for his !!!!
THe older carts are not that expensive.

Has anyone recently tried shipping a Scope-Mobile by Greyhound bus?
Used to be they would accept them without being packaged, just with a
tag, and the price and handling care were fine.
I did see the post that they are very expensive in Portland, but I
believe that in most of the country it is hard to get rid of them due
to shipping costs.
