Anyone know of any low cost way of mounting a BGA chip?

I tried to inquire about this with a board manufacturer.   I told them
I'd like to get a couple of 200+ pin bga chips mounted onto a board
and I got back a quote for a few hundred dollars!!

Now how in the hell can any hobbyists prototype anything if just
mounting a chip costs a few hundred dollars.

I know there are BGA adapters out there but I don't want to go that
route.

Any suggestions or does anyone know any low cost (e.g. 50 dollars)
shop which will mount a BGA on a board if supplied with the chip &
board.

Thanks
