Not really relevant, but fun. A few weeks ago one fellow was selling reels of 68000 processors on Ebay. They were four reels of 250 processors for about $100 or $.10 each per 68000. He had several lots of 1000. But they were PLCC packages. They won't go in the compacts. However, they would work in the Outbound Laptop, which uses a socketed PLCC 68000. It's not relevant because you'd expect very different pricing between something like a 68020 and a 68000. The 68HC11 is even simpler than the 68000 and likely to be cheaper at retail pricing. The last time I checked on new 68RC040 processors from a real distributer, they wanted something like $400 each. Admittedly, this was three or four years ago, but even then one could pick one up used for about $50. Now days, I find them on motherboards in the $5 bin at the Goodwill Computer Store.
