Of the 4 per base, I only got 2 that both swivel and lock, and the
locking mechanism locks the swivel as well as the wheel. The
"swivelers" set me back about $7 each, and the stationary casters were
about $5 each. And since these are Alaska prices where things are
generally more than the "lower 48", I am operating on the assumption
that similar casters would be even less in other places.

The ratings were in the neighborhood of 250#.

Of course, could be that the hardware store goofed up on the price.
