I ordered an ASIC miner back when they were first coming up. My shipment got held up by customs and they asked me to pay a hefty import fee. I didn’t have the extra cash at that time so I just let it go and forgot about it a few months later.

If I had plugged that machine in, I would have probably retired by now. A few months of mining back then was enough to have life changing amount of BTC today.
