Are you sure? Old BGP-capable Cisco routers (like 25xx), especialy from eBay 
are very cheap. Also pls do not forget about PC+Unix+zebra/gated/etc solutions.
They are still on the market. As example - we have one "multihomed" (PI /23) 
customer with 64K external uplink and 10Mb connection to local IX.
