I'm surprised they are that expensive unless folks are raising the prices as BTC value rises. I bought three for ~$25 each in Sep or Oct. Might want to keep searching.
Even at $25, breaking even seems hard at this point unless you park them on an alt coin that will rise relative to BTC someday, which is how I made back the cost and then some. My erupters just solo mine now hoping for a lottery win....

it really is unsettling to read it takes so long for the block erupters to break even. I think it's time for these mining companies to step up or step out of the way. However I don't see that happening unless the community forces the issue.
So i checked ebay for some - for "hobby" trying and such and saw the costs of gettign one - 333mhs 60$ + 20$ for shipping.
80$ for 333mhs.
At current rate and increasing difficulty it could take up to one and a half years 24/7 to break even.
I could use cex and rent 1GHS for less then that.
