Topically, I just dug up my old Athlon 1700+, which has been lying dormant in a shuttle for the past year... Underclocked, undervolted, it's making a very small and quiet little file server. Love that chip, was my main CPU for about 2 years back in the day, and it's still going strong :D

Perhaps the indestructibility makes for the high 2nd hand price? :>

Probably pirated software on it aswell. Terrible tbh. The buyer would probably think it's genuine.
