Is there anything these USB miners are still good for? Can someone run SOLo mining with them? Assuming one have up to good numbers of the USB miners will it make any sense running them for possible luck solving a block or two one day.

No, definitely not these usb miners. They are just really too slow and it makes no sense. Even with the current usb miners, the chances of finding a block are very slim. It's certainly possible, but as I said, the chances are slim. Therefore, I cannot recommend anyone to buy such usb block erupters miners.

Same, I don't plan on selling mine ever. It's a part of history and it has a big sentimental value. I don't think anyone who has never mined any bitcoins would be as passionate about it as people who have.

Yes, I think so, too. You have to have been there, then you understand the sentimental value.

These prices are crazy and honestly this is the real bitcoin bubble. Doesn't make sense to buy such stuff as collectible if you can get current miners for similar prices. You can then use them and in a few years they are also "collectible". But people are stupid enough it seems to spend money on anything.

If I remember correctly, these usb block erupters were the first asic miners for bitcoin. That makes them something special, but either way the prices are not justified.
