Amazon has a Asrock z270 Fatality for $187 which isn't much more than they were new, also one of the better z270 itx boards.
There are many Thunderbolt 3 enabled motherboards. Not only that, but you may have a motherboard in your shop that is "Thunderbolt Ready" Look for a "THB_C" Connector, at the bottom of the motherboard or above or below the first PCI-e x16 slot (Sometimes on the right side, but rare). Then you could buy a TB2 or TB3 AIC (Add in Card).
Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 Adapters are bidirection AND reversable. You can plug TB3 Devices into TB2 Computers as well as Connecting TB2 Devices into TB3 computers.
I recommend against an AIC though, reports are they are unstable.
If you want the absolute CHEAPEST possible Thunderbolt 3 Motherboard. It's an odd duck. You won't be able to put in a GPU AND 40Gbe, but you will be able to get a single 32Gbps input (TB3 says it's 40Gb, but that is including 8Gb of Displayport throughput that is inaccessible to the PCIe bus, only PCIe 3.0 x4 at 32Gb is accessible)
