The Palomino's seem to be going at about twice the price of Thoroughbreds of the same speed on eBay. Why is this? Is there something about the Palomino core that I don't know about?

I know most (if not all) of the Palomino's are unlocked, but I thought they still sucked. Makes no sense to me.

Alot of older motherboards requre the old CPUs to function. Its all a matter of rarity. Since its a rare chip they are easily sold.

All palominos require the L1 bridges to be closed to allow full multi access. The architecture and overclocking ability is also inferior to the Tbred. As Sen says its merely a matter of supply/demand dynamics.

I used to have a 2100+ pally; worse chip ever. The multiplier was locked, and it ran very hot at stock speeds. It's a very hard chip to overclock.
On the same note, I saw a 2100+ pal sell for $81 before shipping on eBay! It's amazing!

Higher voltage, bigger core, larger process, earlier revision, more transistors, locked.... What's NOT to like about the Palomino? 
The only special thing about a Pally is that I'm still using one (and that my mobo dosen't support t-breds ). Yea for incompatibilites.

Heh my wife's got one in her rig, but she'd never know the difference anyways
I've got a morgan core duron too, they both run hot as hell, about 45C (wife's) and 53C (duron) with my best efforts at cooling them.
