Looking for Juniper MX80 Router or similar on the cheap

Anyone know anywhere you can still pickup some decent routers without paying an arm and a leg?
Looking for a couple of MX80 or similar routers, for around US$2K each, which is about the same price paid the last time I purchased these.
Can't seem to find these for less than $3.5K, and mostly over $4K from unknown sellers.

MX80's have an EOL announced anyway - if I were you I'd avoid buying any. MX104s or 204s would make sense as a good replacement at a decent price.
What's the application you're planning to use them for?
CPU is too slow on this for reliable handling of full table.
I have a pair of MX104s I’m willing to move if you’re interested, but that would be from the UK.
^^ what @Clouvider said. If you're doing full tables even the 104 may be too slow - the 150 or 240 will be able to update much quicker.
The 204 has onboard 40/100G too which may be of some use for futureproofing - depends what you're doing with them really
Some day I am going to buy something like this plus maybe a few servers too. Friendly greetings!
I'm not in a rush, so slow shipping is still fine.
What's the price?
