Is there such a thing, aside from <your-brand-name-here>-selector dot brandname dot com? Which includes new and old.
Personally looking for alternative to mt crs305, but 2 sfp+ is "okay". I was comparing a fanless hpe 2930f but looking it up on ebay, there were several "parts only" and "few poe ports not working as poe" in those particular models, brocade 7150-c12p seems like a smarter choice, but totally around 400+ USD. Anyone saw these cheaper or maybe can recommend something else?

Just bought ICX 7150-C12P from eBay Germany for ~$300. Listing was for higher price but my offer was accepted based on the fact that these sell for $175-$225 in the US regularly. Check completed listings. In the US for $300 you could even get a new one.

Examples of closed listings for price comparison:

New one for $300

Used one for $175

um, what? They're both ended listings, how did you even dig those up? All I get now is $400+ on ebay
I can try best offer but why would they list it at over double price then...

I bought two 2930F-8G, that you're talking about for around 150-250 few years ago. I'd be glad to add another one, but looking at asking prices on ebay, it's probably not happening.

Yeah, it totally can't cost that much. I mean both hp and brocade.
I mean there're only three devices that can do: SFP+ (10G), 8x PoE class 4 (802.11bt, 60W) and passive. Cisco. Aruba and Ruckus/Brocade. Seems like $200 or so is a fair price.
I'd like to get Cisco (with -ZP I think), but it's 3x the price

Checking completed listings can give you a good picture of the "real price" these actually sell for. eBay is full of bs listings, pay no mind to those. If there's been 10-20 recent listings for 7150-C12P that sold for $175-300 it's reasonable to assume there will be more soon. Just set up a watch list.

well, he's in europe, so all US prices makes zero sence: you'll have to add shippiing ($50) and imports (idk... another $50 at least).

Okay. Quoting USD prices led me to US.. It might make more sense to source locally but we don't have as much selection here. UK has some good stuff more often but after brexit it's the same problem with taxes. In any case imho it's possible to get them from US->Europe for $300'ish after some hunting and bargaining.
