I work for a company directly involved with the teardown of this 777. Believe me the major components alone are worth more than the purchase price of the airplane. The airplane, contrary to popular believe, is not incident or accident scarred. If you are familiar with parts you know how low the value would be if it was. You can hardly sell an incident related part. Sometimes the numbers are added and things are worth more dead than alive. There is no room for sentimental in this business as we have received several phone calls saying it is morally wrong to tear down a MECHANICAL MACHINE. Oh well if anybody has any questions I might be able to help
