Hi: If you're careful, and keep yourself to a price minimum, some sales on eBay can be as low as $12.99, $9.99 or even $0.99. Shipping can vary, though. I've dealt with some carriers damaging equipment. I even saw a twentieth annivesary Mac on sale at eBay.
Thogu, it may well be that those bins at the Goodwill stores could still serve you better.
