I'm looking to buy a ps3 and saw sku models on ps3devwiki
Are all the fat versions capable of JB. Is there anyway to tell what firmware version ps3 is loaded without opening the box?

no you need to boot it up to see unless you find a fat (highly unlikely) thats brand new unopened.
completely untrue, go to any old kmart, look at the ps3 model number its HAS to be cech2501a that would be a slim 160gb on firmware 2.50 the next model out was the cech3001a thats firmware 3.66
what i say is 1000% TRUE
reason i say kmart is most likely they will be the only store that still may have older models on the shelf (at least in my area this holds true, walmart sears toys r us bear you may have them), most people dont shop at kmart anymore they go to walmart or toys r us, leaving the older versions sit at kmart, i have 3 kmarts within 10 miles north and south, ive bought every single cech2501a (6 total) and each have been 3.50 firmware ive upgraded each to 3.55 then jailbroke each and sold each with profit
dont believe me, try it, buy a model cech2501a plug it in and power it up, see its on 3.50 firmware, you have your reciept take it back and youll see im right!
to check the model look at the barcode for cechXXX1a see below

Go to gamestop, most of them log whenever they get a PS3 into the store.
Go in, say you want one from before 2011, guaranteed to be pre 3.56
