Quick Tripod Question

I currently buying a tripod from a pawnshop, but it does not include the camera plate. I have a cheapy $40 tripod at home, will the plate from that fit in any other tripod? I cannot bring mine in and check because my camera plate is at home, and I'm 3 hrs from away. If they are not universal will it be easy to find a replacement plate for a tripod?

tl;dr - are tripod camera plates universal?

Are tripod plates universal? Nope. You might be able to find a replacement plate, but it will probably be difficult for a low-end tripod.
