cex.io is the fastest & safest way for newbie to enter bitcoin mining. You get launched right away, get to see how a mining pool operates and can exit at any time. Plus the convenience of buying fractional GH/s amounts with guaranteed 100% uptime. That should be enough to understand the economics of mining and give you an idea how much you’d be making if purchasing a “real” miner.

You probably wouldn't have been able to sell through a common channel.

Furthermore, high fees would have been required (both bitcoin tx and fiat fees).

Furthermore, cashing out of fiat would be very costly and would undoubtedly be delayed.

I did however sell some on localbitcoins at $800 a piece when the price was $1200.
