[SOLVED] Marketplace to get LGA1155 Xeon besides Ebay?

[rcald2000]

I'm currently looking to upgrade a LGA1155 core i3 CPU to a Xeon E3-1230 V2 or better (i7 equivalent). But Ebay listings are either $75+ or are located all the way in China. I'm in the US and wondering where else can I purchase such a CPU from, other than Ebay. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Aside from Ebay, you can look for used CPUs through 3rd party sellers on Amazon and Newegg, or through local Craigslist ads, or local Facebook marketplace ads, or call around to the various repair shops. Many of them have these kinds of older parts on hand from systems they've worked on, repaired or replaced.

Other than that, I don't know of any other resources for used CPUs.

Thank you Darkbreeze. You've given me a lot to go on.
