used/grey market/refurb cisco 3560 or 3750 (100Mbps copper, not the G model which is 1000BaseT) can be found in their 802.3af versions for very cheap on eBay. for example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cisco-Catalyst-WS-C3750-24PS-S-24-Ports-Rack-Mountable-Switch-Managed-/121899903643?hash=item1c61ccea9b:g:4H8AAOSwKtVWx2we 70 bucks with shipping. whatever else you can buy for $70 is not going to have the same operating system feature set/command line that real IOS does.
