It's a beige, plastic unit with no "black areas" (that is, base and cart
area are beige). I paid $2.99.

I find that pawn shops are often as good as thrift stores. To be honest
I've gotten most of my stuff by leaving my number at small computer shops
and asking them to call me if they pick up old junk in trade. Usually
they either charge me $10 for anything they get or they just call me and
ask me to haul it off before they junk it.
