What does the seller think anyone can do with this, "for parts or not working"?

How about as a novel flower pot?  Cheap at £23!

One wonders how the prospective vendor arrived at £17.20 starting price...perhaps thought he'd start it cheap and watch it soar?

I always thought a battery box was a place to install a battery. What he is selling is an empty battery case which in my opinion is somewhat useless you have an exact matched battery with a busted case.
