Ouch, not many folks will be buying that then.
Your 2nd link didn't seem to work BTW so I've fixed it.
It's exactly the same picture!!

I think they uploaded the wrong photo. A5000 keyboards regularly sell for £150+ I don't know why.
I had to pay £80 for an A310 keyboard recently, which unfortunately the vendor thought was cheap, but when it arrived it was disgusting, keys stuck with gum/coke/hand cheese, lots of hairs in the keyboard, yellowed to hell, missing the plastic bit that holds the F keys tab sheet :(
I think keyboards must go missing / broken and there are less than there are computers

I was rushing to get the 80% off fees before 12pm so I just put any photo on the listing. It's actually going to be an A5000 computer with Keyboard when I get the photos taken.

@rubber_jonnie
Thanks for fixing the link !
@alexh
If the price is for an A5000 and its keyboard, then I'm reassured...
My A5000 keyboard was not so cheap, but was clean when I got it.

Notice it is 'not working'.
I'd say its quite a risk as to its repairability too with the dreaded green goo.

Wow madness.
I've seen faulty falcon motherboards go for over £400. People sent me them to fix sometimes but when someone's shoved 12v into the 5v rail.. it just becomes to time consuming to replace every chip and buy them. A few people got very lucky. But it can end up costing a lot more to fix than just buying a working one.
(And no I don't fix such falcons anymore in case anyone in the future reads this)
I wouldn't pay more than £50 for a faulty motherboard personally.
