I'm contemplating if I should start solo mining with my 2 x1's and hope I get lucky. I can't sell them on ebay, they make less than a dollar a day mining on a pool and my power is cheap so it won't cost me much. I know the chance of finding a block is slim at best but it's starting to look like the best option.
Why can't you ebay them? Mine showed up, ima use em until they are sold. I really came to terms about losing this money a few months ago so now i figure even if i can get SOMETHING for them it is still better than nothing.
Your idea of something vs nothing may be different then someone else . After ebay fees and what not even if you don't do free shipping and charge about ten bucks anyone paying more the $100 for the x-1 is the village idiot when you could invest that $100 into a better more GH/s unit and have at least 3x's the hashing power and less chance of burning down your facilities . Good thing winters rite around the corner they may make great space heaters if your brave enough to use them . Plus the idea of passing off shottie fire hazards to someone .
