That's way too expensive for something that only gives ~$250/month.

Ditto, but also. Walmart is wannabe Amazon right now. That's not really Walmart selling it.

I bought one for $2,500 (included PSU) and I'm still not sure it's worth it. Probably keep it when it comes next month and just collect Bitcoins for the future, but it looks barely profitable if BTC price doesn't shoot up again.

My S9's are back up to just under $13/day and that's with BTC at $10,400.
