Well, cheap is a relative thing.

The last two I saw on ebay.uk went for slightly above 200 UKP and 300 UKP, respectively (the second one (only a few days ago) included two monitors, but old monitors are a dime a dozen).
Apparently, if you have 'contacts' or are lucky, you can find Falcons for 100-150 Euro or so, but not all of us have/are.
I had no major trouble with paying nearly 250 UKP for a Falcon (14 Mbyte) a couple of months ago, since it was the only one I could find for sale, at any price. Of course, it turned out the CT60 took longer to arrive than I anticipated, so I guess I should have waited and gone for that 200 UKP one. ;-)
The people selling Falcon's for 100-150 Euro are obviously being kind (or silly ;-), since there is apparently no problem getting significantly more.
That said, I'd not buy a mainboard where the description simply says 'broken' for 100 Euro
unless I was really desperate.
