There are a couple for sale in Hungary, though, however, they're on the edge of what I'm willing to pay ...
I dont know where to find TUSL2-C now but a couple of years ago the most reasonable place I found to get them from was from one seller in Ukraine. Thats where I got mine from for about $35 USD and saw him have more than quite a few he sold and more then I generally ever saw for sale in the USA. Unfortunately his listings have sharply dropped off in the last couple of years, I hope he is ok and doing well.
Wonder if that's the Ukrainian seller that I'm following as well. He actually has a TUSL board once in a while still. But customs from outside the EU has become quite pricey ...
I also wonder if that's the same Ukrainian seller I have found as well. And yes I fully agree the customs outside the EU have really become quite pricy. That's why I am more interested from buying from guys within the EU. This makes things much harder because there is much great stuff to buy sellers from outside the EU.

This is the one I bought in case it's helpful: https://www.ebay.es/itm/281238323137
Good luck with your search!
Thanks for the link. That's helpful.
@shevalier Has a point though. The easiest way would be to get the board that has Tualatin support from the get-go like the AOpen MX3S-T you have mentioned.
Getting a Tualatin system would be quite an expensive matter anyway. So I am patient enough to wait until I find a bargain for each component.
the CPU itself is the easiest part. While some listings are rather expensive like P3 Tualatin 1400 from the US for 69 USD plus shipping and potential custom fees, a Tualatin 1266 from China would only cost 19.95 USD plus 4.95 shipping.
But again I do not know high the custom fees would be.
I will keep a close eye on the market situation.
