Can anyone point to a big list of UX techniques?

I'd like to build a matrix of those I use, those I don't, along with relative cost estimates.

Usability.gov has a great visual map of ux methods that provides an extensive step-by-step usability guide of techniques as well as several useful related templates.

You can click any of the items on the visual process map for further information, including detailed definitions and step-by-step how-to's.

UsabilityNet has an interactive methods table, that filters out methods depending on three criteria: Limited time/resources, No direct access to users or Limited skills/experience

Clicking a method takes you through to a page that explains the benefits, outlines the method and points to some further reading on the topic.

The UPA have a great site called the Usability Body of Knowledge. One of the sections is a Methods round up:

http://www.usabilitybok.org/methods

This section of the BoK presents descriptions of methods, including procedures, resources needed, outcomes, appropriate uses, benefits, and costs. These descriptions will form the core of a knowledgebase that defines our field and will help communicate usability methods to clients, project managers, and team members. Usability practitioners will also benefit from cross-referencing of related methods and pointers to outside resources for more details.

A fantastic resource.
