A cheap copy of Tolkien's Legendarium? I am not quite willing to pay 80 bucks for it - yet.

Never heard of that!
Try EBay.

It's a book of essays by various Tolkien critics discussing the History of Middle-earth and holy crapola is it boring. I was never able to get all the way through that book. Another matter of perspective I guess because I've heard people say that Letters of Tolkien is a boring book, but I've always found it to be extremely informative and interesting, so to each his own.
My brother got the Legendarium for about $50 from a friend of mine who runs a used book store that specializes in hard to find books. He's got a little internet network going with other book dealers throughout the US and Canada and they track down books that way. So you might check out your local used book stores and see if you can find somebody to help you track down a used copy.
Here's a list of some different places to look for books. Out of them, I've used Powell's, Alibris and Abebooks to track down books, but at Powell's and Alibris you'll usually end up spending more money for books than at other places.

Although I would definitely take Mora's advice and keep checking Ebay. I'd been looking for a first edition copy of John George Hohman's The Long Lost Friend for years but everybody wanted $600-800 for it. Then I decided to watch Ebay for a while and within a month I ended up finding a copy of it for $35. I love that place. 
Good luck finding your book.

PS In case you haven't seen it yet, BB, here's a link to a free ebook of essays about Middle-earth by Michael Martinez.
