Missing Scottish sense?

Chambers 1908 says that "to be cheap of anything" (in Scottish usage) is to get off with less than one deserved or expected, e.g. punishment. I haven't had much luck trying to search for it in Google Books. Equinox ◑ 04:54, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

cheap (noun)

RFV two noun senses:

• Price.
• Cheapness; lowness of price; abundance of supply.

  The cheap of this book is incredible.

Do these exist, or at least need to be labelled obsolete or something? To me, "The cheap of this book is incredible" is not intelligible English. Can't see anything for "the cheap of" in Google Book Search, other than red herrings. Mihia (talk) 12:42, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

• I'm seeing one or two noise-level/rubbish-level Internet hits only. However, on the basis of some definitions at [1], I'll mark these as "obsolete" rather than deleting them. Mihia (talk) 21:53, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
