It's a tricky one, Mac2Sell is a reputable site, although of course opinions vary as to the pricing it provides.
I would think that it'll assume that a three year old MBA will have long passed the 1,000 recharge cycle design life of it's non-user-replaceable battery- hence the (perceived) low price, for example.
They do seem to go for around the £440 mark on eBay, albeit that the only completed listings a quick search turned up were for eBay shops offering some warranty, so you may well get that price for it.
However it's an evolving market, and the latest MBA was released what, 30 days ago and is £849 brand spanking, full warranty etc.
If you can get over 50% of the cost of a significantly faster new machine for one that is three years old then that's testament to the market value of Apple I guess.
