If you were about to break even, you should be able to sell them to make profit. Or you could continue mining x11/x13 and all those new algos? They apparently use less power.

It was sad that I shut down my GPU mining rig 2 days ago.  I couldn't justify the cost of running it and barely breaking even with alt coins.  A few months ago it was generating a nice profit, but with the prevalance of ASICs hitting the scrypt market and other algorithms not really taking off as profit-houses, GPU mining may finally be put to rest.

So I have a question, are any of you mining with gpu's and seeing a profit to justify the huge electricity costs?  I have gone from scrypt, scrypt-n, keccak, x11, and x13...sadly I was breaking about even at the end.  It may be time to sell my R9 290 video cards and hope to recover some of my investment.
