My Friend had Antminer S9 pro and at that time it was super good and He was making A lot of money from this. And also at that time I do not have enough resources to buy this. I tried my best to get loan from banks and they didn't give because I was Student and have had no any backup and I regret this till now. And It brothers me sometimes.

Yeah, you had no chance of getting a loan from a bank without an income and if you told them it was for the purpose of bitcoin mining - you would make it even worse.
At least you tried.

Anyone can attempt to sell old ASIC at high price, but i have doubt there are any buyer for it. There are too many variant of USB miner out there and Bitcoin mining isn't very popular even among Bitcoiner, while casual hobbyist would prefer newer USB miner such as Compac F.

That's true that anyone can set any price they want, but all listings for this type of miners were broadly in a similar range, while newer generations (but still obsolete) were notably cheaper. Some of them had some sales iirc (I haven't done any proper research on it though, just a quick check). That could be a sign that the collectors' market could be slowly shaping in. Of course, there's no chance for any massive demand, probably just sentiment buyers.

Apparently those bad boys are now going for ~£100 each as collectibles. I knew this will happen eventually Cheesy

It's great that bitcoin mining devices such as USB Asic become items for collectors, this is the same thing that happened for example with the first copies of Nintendo, but it seems to me that the time has not yet come for Asic.

I have one of the first ones, they sent me in a box with a ribbon on it

(that I still have)
Not gonna sell it thought.

Funny that they'd prolly make less than 1c a year but people will buy them and try to mine with them.

Just came across this and thought I'd share. Apparently those bad boys are now going for ~£100 each as collectibles. I knew this will happen eventually Cheesy

I remember paying £10 (incl. postage) for mine in 2014, so that's an impressive return of over 25% p.a.
But I'm not selling. Ever.
