I can buy a decent desktop i5-3570K on eBay for $10, or two lower-tier laptop i5-3320M for $10 (my laptop came with a 3230M which ruins 100 MHz slower). I'm finding Core 2 Duo mobile CPUs for $12-24 (higher-tier CPUs may cost more, not sure what you're looking for).

And for more than 10 generations old processors that's a reasonable price.

Aren't motherboards substantially more expensive than CPUs? I tried looking for a replacement Haswell Dell Inspiron 15 3542 motherboard (almost as old) for someone with a broken laptop, and saw results in the range of $90.
