GPU mining profit vs. ebay depreciation

[krayzie32]

Who's dumb enough to pay $250 for 300-400M hash when you can get a USB Eruptor for alot less, save power and have more per computer.

Who's dumb to buy a USB Eruptor that will never even pay for itself.

well, I haven't looked at the eBay prices for the 'USB Eruptors', but at least several times a week you can find deals on GPUs where you could turn on a profit on eBay right when they hit your doorstep & after fees

since i don't know the resale value of the USB Eruptor, I wouldnt pay more than $10 for one from a ROI perspective

btw, you can buy 7790's that can do 330mhash for $80

If you assume an ebay price drop of $50/year, that's $0.14/day in lost sales cost. At a BTC price of $100, you need to be making 1.4 mBTC per day to break even. Right now, 300 MH/s = 5.7 mBTC/day. So you're still better off mining now and selling later, given your assumption of free electricity.

You cant make 5.7mBTC per day at 300 Mhps its has become harder in the two weeks.

Im running at 340 Mhps im only making 0.0025 BTC today at current speed.

last week I was making 0.044 BTC

Its a big difference.

Last month I was making 0.05

I can't find any 7790 card that sold that cheap the ones I see go for $100-150, when you can buy an USB stick for about $60.  I sold all of my USB sticks at a profit on eBay.  eBay buyers are not the smartest, heck I've sold a lot of ChromeCasts for retardedly high prices.
