on the other hand as I'm finding out the hard way you get what you pay for
My daughter's desktop PC has been giving me more problems than the other two desktop PC's and I can't help but notice I have what was a $100 motherboard at the time I bought in there, "ASUS TUF GAMING B450M-PLUS II AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard "
By contrast my son's desktop PC with it's " ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-PLUS AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen™) Micro ATX Gaming Motherboard " has not given me any problems at all (hopefully this continues to be the case

or go to ebay and do a search for ebay item number:295093879368 if the link above doesn't work though sadly given the "seller pays for return shipping" part looks like the newegg/ebay return policy isn't as good as newegg website's hassle free return policy
One thing I loved about the asus MB I linked is the easy flash bios ... asus walks you through how to do it but basically you get a cheap usb 2.0 thumb drive 16 GB or more, copy bios files onto it, plug it into the correct usb slot on the motherboard, hit the button on the back of the motherboard and it updates the bios without you needing anything other than the 24 pin power/motherboard cable plugged into the motherboard from the power supply.

As I found out the hard way if the MB's bios does not support that particular CPU and you didn't upgrade the bios then the PC build will flat out refuse to start up and you're stuck with the pain of removing the cpu from the stock cooler, shipping the motherboard back to the seller, cleaning the thermal paste off the cpu and reapplying the thermal paste.. it's a huge pain.. MB's with the usb bios flash function are more expensive but absolutely worth it in my opinion.
do not more than $50 on this. DO NOT get this for gaming.
you'll need a bios update for most affordable boards. which requires an older cpu first.
this is really not worth yany one's time imo, unless you want to go through a ton of effort to figure out how to construct a potato.

i can't rationalize anyone buying this

golden rule- don't spend more on your motherboard than your cpu
