Blew $400 on a crypto mining rig back in 2021, it's now a paperweight

I bought a used GPU and some power supplies right when everyone was going nuts about mining. Thought I'd make passive income while sleeping. After the crash and the merge thing, I couldn't even cover the electricity bill. Now it just sits in my closet collecting dust. Anyone else get burned on a trend like that and still have the gear laying around?

Did you at least try to sell the GPU?

Tbh not everyone wants to deal with the hassle of selling.

lucasw84 is right, selling stuff can be such a pain especially when you just want to forget about the whole mess. Solidarity dude, I still have a drawer full of old phone screen protectors from a reselling phase that never took off.
