Sup? I have a question, but first I will give some background.

My motherboard doesn't have any PCIe slots - only AGP. I've had to deal with AGP GPUs for a long time, but then it occurred to me - maybe I could get some kind of adapter or bridge so I can use PCIe GPUs?

E.G.

PCIe GPU >>plugs into>> adapter/bridge >>plugs into>> AGP slot on motherboard

So, my question is: is there any such adapter or bridge? If so, does anyone know where I can get one? I did some Internet-searching, but couldn't really find any such item for retail.

Nope, no such thing. This exact question was brought up by the computer industry when PCIe first came out. There's just no way to do this with all the different implementations of AGP and PCIe. You'd have to have a different adapter for every family of vid cards going into every family of chipsets. It's just not feasible.
