After all, being "new, just gathered dust" doesn't offer anything special. It would look different for new, with guaranty - it means that if it fails, Nokai give you something you can sell, and buy 2 or 3 used N900's (and remain with cach in pocket, event after). But "just" new? Blah.

// Edit

Good luck to seller, nevertheless
Buing a used "in great condition" means that someone was USING it:

- charging (one will care for mUSB port, another won't give s - and You might be the third one who will end with mUSB in one hand and device in other hand).

- tapping the digitalizer (I had one N900 before that was in great/mint outside condition, but mUSB was reinforced and only the talk time was 300+ hours, the screen was dead after couple months)

- and so on, with overclocking to highest possible levels - which have big impact on how long the mighty N900 will serve You (as a next owner)

My point is, of course You can buy used / refurbished / "china new" device, but the question is how long You will use it before changing parts which means CASH, then the parts can be poor quality - CASH. Or it can just die - CASH.

Here You have N900 with few minutes on talk time, and few hours of running IN TOTAL.

There have to be someone who have to look for 50 bucks nearly dead crap, 100 $ good / mint condition ones with second life in new panels and high mileage insaide, and so on.


P.S. Cheers mate, good luck.
