It might be worth contacting some recyclers to find out if you can buy unpopulated boards. Seems a lot of places don't pay when taking unpopulated boards due to low quantity metal reclamation. So maybe this is an avenue to obtain such boards after all.
I know a guy who owns a big electronics recycling outfit in the DC area. He pulls the circuit boards for anything that can't be reused and they get sent to other outfits who strip them for whatever precious metals they contain. I could find the name of whatever company that is, and if they don't ruin the boards they use, maybe they would ship you a box of them? I'm sure they normally throw them out afterwards because they're worthless...
