Do they still sell older jailbreakable serial numbers?
Which serial numbers should i be looking for?
I just don't want to buy a kindle and find out later that I can't jailbreak it, that would suck.

Easy ones first:
Looking at the serial numbers will not help, it depends on what firmware is being run, which is not on the box.
Looking at the firmware version being run by the display models will not help either. Since they are powered on and may have self updated, possibly without even the store personal being aware of it.
Does who still sell ...
It depends on a lot of things.
Not uncommon that a retailer will make an initial order large enough to last longer than the retailer across the street.
Same thing, although less likely now, with the various on-line stores, including the various Amazon national sites.
The keyword in retailing is (and has been for years) "just in time" stock levels.
But since you choose not to display your location in the information box or in your post, it is impossible for anyone to advise you on your local retailers.
The only way I can suggest is to either literally or effectively "stand outside the front door" and ask each new owner to tell you the firmware version being run by their purchase.
Note: There was an exception for the KT3 (Kindle Basic) - where any version of the firmware being run could be jail broken.
That exception was (we think) due to its Bluetooth support.
That may or may not still be the case (the jailbreakability, not the bt).
But that would drop one of your three requirements - those are not lighted screens.
