What a pile of smelly stuff. Bigger dealers are likely to offer derisory px deals on tatty older machines but ones in reasonable nick will often be taken in. What they may choose not to do is sell them on themselves, using a broker or passing them on to smaller traders. Sounds like you need to widen your search away from shiny big showrooms and you may have more luck. Try looking through biketrader.co.uk and see if anything pops up in your price range close(ish) by and go from there.
