I wouldn't say it is a fully depreciated asset. Many companies buy up these old seats & find places for them on the second hand market. A single unit (2 Club World) costs £1000s brand new. Flat beds are relatively new to the used seat market so I don't know much about the rates but I'd imagine they would be very high. This is complicated since BA has also specifically said that they're not for private/commercial sale (discovered after an enquiry I made)

That's all I'm saying. You can come up with counter examples until the cows come home, but we're speculating about a specific J seat on a specific plane.
Exactly.
