I desperately need to buy a brand-new, factory-sealed HP OfficeJet
g85xi series multifunction printer, part number C6739A!

I have checked with my two main distributors, Ingram Micro and Tech
Data, to no avail.  I have used pricewatch.com to see if any show up,
but the results indicate refurbished models.  Surely there is some
shop out there that has one or two still sitting on a shelf that they
want to get rid of.

I realize the g85xi has been discontinued and replaced by the
OfficeJet 6100 all-in-one series, but we need the g85xi.

Please can you help me locate someone who has one available?

Thank you feilong-ga for your quick, detailed answer!  I appreciate
your efforts.  Also, thanks to tlspiegel-ga for the work you put into
getting me in touch with Joon.  I bought the printer from pcRUSH.com
and had a great experience.  Google Answers rocks!

Good Morning,

Well I see my colleague has answered the question for you after I went
to sleep for the night!  (I must get my 8 hours...)

I can save you a bit of trouble and tell you where to locate it brand
new, factory sealed.  Please call 1-888-205-7777 Extension 206.  You
will be calling PCRush.  Extension 206 will be a person named Joon
Kim.  Tell him you are the customer for which the Google Answers
Researcher was inquiring about the HP printer.

This store has the printer for $239.25/free Ground Shipping. It is
brand new and factory sealed.

Please go to this site:http://www.hp.com/cposupport/multifunction/support_doc/bpu03002.html

Read the information and compare columns 3 and 4.  The printer you are
asking about is in the 4th column.  The AVAILABLE printer is in the
third column and is the exact same printer except for a few good
changes.  There is no difference between the 2 except the G85 can
print 99 pages and the G85xi can print 50 pages.  Additionally, the
G85 can store 125 fax numbers and teh G85 can only store 100 fax
numbers.

Best regards,
