So it looks like I can get some Antminer s2's for $200

I have some umisoo hash, and it will be converted to hardware soon.  The cost to ship each unit will be $200 or so.  This seems like a lot!  I don't see very many of the units on sale anywhere, so I have no idea what the resale would realistically be if I wanted to sell them.

Is this a reasonable price, or is it, as I suspect, more than the units are worth?

wait 4 more days $ 200 each is a bit pricey just for covering shipping costs.

Thanks, I didn't think to check on ebay for some reason!

I might get one just for "fun" mining.

 Unless your electric is VERY cheap, you'll be throwing money away.
 Might help some if you can undervolt the S2 as much as an S1 can be undervolted, but you'll still never RoI the things unless you have essentially free electric (using them as space heaters in a home with electric heat, for example).

Yeah, it would be nice in the winter.  I wasn't thinking of roi, more of a toy for mining alts. And a piece of bitcoin history I guess.  Maybe I will start a museum!
