Unless list for a 787 is 600m and there no salvagable parts these figures see way wrong

I'm guessing, but they're probably unsellable because they're pre-production testbeds. Those will cost much more than a production plane.

It also tells you exactly nothing about the market for 787s...

Isn’t it in Boeing’s interest to have that figure as high as possible for tax reasons?

The very early 787 production after those two units were sold to Ethiopian at a significant discount. They are far overweight and were plagued with a series of defects requiring warranty service.
