kpsurplus has several Chicony KB-5181 (http://shop.ebay.com/kpsurplus/m.html?_nkw=chicony+kb-5181) keyboards for buy it now price of $59.99 or best offer with free shipping.  These have blue monterey switches which I personally like very much.  Not terrible if you're looking for one, especially if they take a significantly lower offer.

The only problem is that there is no guarantee of how well it works or not. There could be entire switches ripped out of their sockets and shoved back into place and you'd never know until you bought it.
