Nobody's paying that much for a 2013 MBP. The will have to lower the price considerably before it's "going."

Ports and keyboard. That's worth something in real money.
Very true! I still prefer my 2013 to my 2016 for this reason.
No they’re actually selling. Just saw one go for £850 a few weeks back. And one with only 256gb SSD for £650. It’s crazy!
Don't they need to sell with a "warranty" to get the higher prices?

In the US market there are some power sellers who say 2 year warranty and get big prices. Meanwhile while I was selling 1 as a non-prof seller I got tons of questions of "can I return it" and "what is the warranty" and two times my item was bid up to the stratosphere by non paying biders. Finally I listed it buy it now only and eventually a no fuss buyer bought it for half the price of the prof-sellers.

My point is, ebay prices don't always tell the whole story.

Just looks like private sellers to me.

Here's the £850 one - does have a TB SSD but still...

And the £620 with 256GB https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Apple-Macbook-Pro-15-inch-mid-201...

That is some serious value being retained right there.

I stand corrected, that is crazy!
