Maybe the poster was quoting a cost post a £200-off for a bucketful of avios?
Just checked my e-ticket which reads:

Fare breakdown The price of your ticket includes a carrier imposed charge or fuel surcharge, where applicable, per sector levied by the carrier. All taxes, fees and charges are to be paid by the member (not British Airways).
I did actually buy that fare a month ago, although my friend also got that fare to LAX about 8/9 days ago. Back in early March, my sister-in-law also got INV-JFK with a total fare price of £14, or £246 with taxes/fees ect.
It was indeed ex-INV. If you have access to expertflyer (I don't), you can check historical fares.
