NerdQAxe+
The BM1368 predecessor to the ++. Half the hashrate and 24 J/TH instead of 15 — and now that the ++ has fallen in price, remaining stock of the + often lists for more than its own successor. Impossible to justify new; fine second-hand.
Typical street price, excluding shipping and duties.

What it costs, what it might win
Running costs across the site use this rate. The default is a typical household tariff — check your own bill for the real number.
The odds, honestly
At the current network difficulty of 1.262e+14, a NerdQAxe+ is expected to find a block roughly once every 6.87K years. That is an average across infinite attempts, not a countdown — a block could come tomorrow, or never.
If you pooled instead
Point the same device at a normal mining pool and you would receive the statistical average steadily instead of gambling on it: about $2.47 a month, against $7.45 of electricity. At your electricity rate that loses money — every 126 sats mined costs $0.2448 in power. Buying the same BTC on an exchange would be cheaper.

About NerdQAxe / NerdMiner
Community designs from shufps that scale the Bitaxe idea to four and eight ASICs on one board. NerdQAxe boards ship with the OSMU-derived NerdQAxe firmware and are the usual step up when a single-chip Bitaxe stops being enough.
