I am not sure if anyone collects older mining units, but this came up on Shopgoodwill:

I just wanted to share, as I really don't collect these, but it's an interesting piece of history and I hope someone gets it who will appreciate it.

Thanks!

Interesting.  I think I sold my last one for 20 BTC once upon a time.  I still have a couple of the FPGA units that came before this Jalapeno.  I remember after the jump from CPU to GPU and then FPGA, the specs on ASICs like the Jalapeno seemed unbelievable.  Those truly were the days when you could order the right miner and make an absolute ton of Bitcoin.  Was a no brainer at the time too.  I wish I had more money to play with back then.
