I live in Alberta, Canada, so probably shop in tack stores different than your local stores. But the corner mangers aren't difficult to find here - even my small tack stores nearby, such as the Lammles or UFA in Camrose sell them individually. I can also buy them at larger tack stores.
So I would suggest shopping locally before shopping on-line, where you'll have to pay for shipping.
By the way, I was considering corner mangers since my trailer doesn't have the permanent mangers. But I discovered that they take up a fair amount of length in a stall, which isn't ideal for most slant load trailers. Instead I've gone to feeding hay directly off the ground - I allow my horses to ride untied in the trailer. They don't fight with each other, and are very happy eating off the ground, which is good for their lungs. You might want to try this before buying mangers. If not, measure carefully and decide if they'll fit well once your horses are loaded.
