Typically they go for about $200. At any one time there are usually 2-5 being sold across the country for about that much. Then there is the random seller that thinks they are a rare Chippendale collectible, and they ask triple that, like the link above. Those usually sit, unbought, forever....

Thanks guys!!! I figured that the ebayer was charging too much. I actually saw that stand in
Person a few weeks ago. The seller was firm on the price, and pretty nasty. Are there any
Stands that are rarer than others (besides dag ones)?

I have one and I really like it. If nothing else, it's a nice piece of furniture, but I use mine for making images.

Yes, don't pay more than 200-300 for one. If they get nasty, let 'em choke on their overpricing.

Out of curiousity, I asked how much would shipping be to the west coast if they decide to ship it - they said $400! (hahaha...)

Good luck with your search.

I was looking for one also as you can see - but I think I'll be content with my surveyor's tripod for awhile. tongue sticking out smiley
