Actually, that doesn't sound too bad of a price to me.  How far was it 
moved?

A couple years ago, we had a set of 10 (24" IBM SP) racks and a couple 
of pallets moved from San Diego to West Lafayette, and it was about 
$10k (and they managed to do a good job of crushing the thin, metal 
mesh skins on the thing with ratchet straps.. at least they seemed to 
pop back into shape ok for the most part).
