There seem to be a whole load of 6000's on USA Ebay being sold by 'auctionsbylizzy'. He/she did not say how many they have, but there have been about 6 so far and it sounds like they aren't going to stop anytime soon. One gets listed about every week. They seem to be going for more and more each time, which is interesting.
They are ALL new, boxed, and unused!

Yes, I have noticed this too. I recently saw one 6000L sell for US$750- just do an advanced search on "closed items" with a minimum price of say 200 to see the trend.
Back in December with my wife on maternity leave, I had no money at all, but I wish I'd hit the credit card and paypal because now one of those 6000Ls would be double the money - I could have bought three and now sold two and had the third one myself costing nothing.
I suppose Sharp need to sell Zaurii by the thousands to make it worthwhile, so even though they can fetch a premium price, it simply costs too much money to have an official sales channel outside Japan. I wonder how long the Olympus one will last? The Yopy seems to have never been more than vapourware!
You can buy 6000Ws (wlan + BT), Ls (wlan only) and even Ns (no wireless or BT) from PriceJapan, but I imagine you would almost certainly have to pay import duties :-(
Me, I'm lusting after a C3000. Just waiting for some money to come my way. Donations accepts. I'm selling my Palm T3 to get some cash together - anyone interested?
