Oh, that's not really related to my comment. I don't think it is likely to be Nokia, it is most likely still cheaper for them to replace the N900s with alternatives when they do get sent back for repair, since not all of them will break within warranty. And I'm not sure they really care to do this to repair devices that are covered by warranty.

It could be also somebody who has a project involving n900s.
It has been established in this thread that the person buying them has a business plan and is intending to sell them abroad.

It is unfortunate for me that he is paying more for them than I am willing to with my current finances.
