When I first got started in bitcoin, I probably like many others purchased USB Block Erupters (10) before moving onto bigger setups & renting.

From USB  I probably earned what I paid for.
My mining setup I got my profit from altcoins
But my rental got me 150btc (as proven in other posts on forum).

So today I'm just looking on eBay and I came across multiple listings for USB block erupters - and there going at £30-50 each!!!!

As the title of post says, am I missing something here?
Surely the erupter is useless and provides no return.

Mine are just sitting in my draw of death along with a tamagochi & various other gadgets I've bought over time.

Apart from a bottle opener or a mini heater is there any point in setting them back upto mine something like an altcoin (xmr?) Or better to just sell them

Ebay sellers just hoping to fool some uninformed newbies, and for the most part, it works.
