I've heard that USB miners aren't really useful for mining anymore but I really want to experience what mining is like, even if I'm not really getting anything more than a few satoshis. With them being pretty outdated I was wondering if anyone had one or two left over from when they actually were useful, that would be willing to send them to me. I could probably pay for shipping if need be. I understand that even the cost of the electric needed to use it, is more than I will get out f it, but it is nothing something I will be doing long. Like I said, kinda just want the experience.
Thank you all in advance.

I have 10 of them kicking around.  Personally, I still can't believe that they are still selling, and/or that people are still buying them.  I get that you want the experience, but even with all 10 hooked up, I doubt you'd see much of anything out of them.

Where are you located roughly?

If you look on Ebay you will find lots of block erupters for cheap.  It is more of for fun on most usb miners don't expect ROI.
