It probably depends on the microwave or if people want OEM parts.
When mine dies a few years ago, I parted it out on eBay. Glass tray went for $20+shipping. Roller ring under it got another $9.99+shipping. Depending on how handy you are you can salvage other parts. Doors, button pad etc.
I do this with a lot of things that stop working. I've done this with power tools, coffee makers and lawn mowers. Sometimes the sum of the replacement parts pays for a new one but takes time and effort. But you should know what capacitors can be dangerous before digging around in some bigger electronics.
