For those of you selling off your miners, contact me first before ebay or craigslist and we can try to work something out.
Wont turning of miners just drop the price even further though?
Turned off my miners. Where I live the power costs are too high for the current price and difficulty. 
Ain't gonna lie, starting to think about shutting down, putting my wallet into cold storage, and forget about Bitcoin for a decade.
Nothing is turned off for me. Just underclocked some and at $200/BTC I am underclocking the rest of them. At $100/BTC I am turning off miners.
Edit: But difficulty might go down again which is good.

My prisma breaks even on monthly power usage in 6 days, so I'm not getting rich.
but we have super cheap power

I run my miners till they die, electricity costs be damned.
I had my last Sapphire 7950 GPU finally die on me late last year. It had been running at 90 degrees nonstop for 3 years. It hadn't hashed any SHA-256d in a while, but it held up well considering how hard I ran it. Can't believe it lasted as long as it did.
Last week, I had my first Block Erupter die. No real loss. The rest are still hashing, despite their negligible speed.
I've also had one USB AntMiner die some time around the new year.
Amazingly, my fleet of BFL miners are still hashing, except for one Jalapeño that stopped working last November. But it was problematic from the beginning, so I'm happy it lasted as long as it did.
Never had a blade die on me, but they're starting to show their age, so it's only a matter of time.
The newer miners, I hope, last as long as the older ones have.

Not worried, I have just a few miners but the price will rally back up quickly and the electric is low for winter.

Agree need to look at this as a long term investment not a day to day price comparison. Winners don't give up!
The difficulty increase combined with the price drop has me turning off another batch of miners. How about you?
I will retire unprofitable miners. At the moment nearly all mining asic's are becoming so.
I went from having 4 miners 2.8 th - to zero - sold them off on ebay and need bitcoin to go back to $600 if I will to have made money off the deal as electricity and cost of the miners happened when btc was over 500$
