Buying N900s from official sources is a russian roulette in terms of getting a device that can run stable at a given overclock vs undervolt setting; but what if you had a group of people you can trust that would guarantee they stress tested the device you're buying and found it to be stable at a rating proportional to the price you're paying for it? Won't there be people willing to pay extra for the assurance of buying a N900 they can overclock and/or undervolt stably?


Also, this busyness if profitable enough might even help people that can't afford the full price to get a N900 that is at least stable at factory settings (the ones that didn't pass the tests to be sold at a premium price), the discount also includes the fact that the device has suffered stress tests and failed even at slight overclock or undervolt, potentially leaving permanent damage (though any device noticeably permanently bricked or otherwise damaged should be announced as such).



ps: of course buyers must be made aware that even though during the stress tests the devices proved to remain stable, technicly long term the odds of OC'd devices getting bricked sooner are much higher.
