Also remember that the first few A380s had lots of issues with wiring harnesses, performance, etc and so may not be completely up to spec.

Exactly. The first 25 airframes (of which 22 were actually build to completion) have the wiring problems and were never expected to find much interest on the secondary market.

In that case, the planes will likely be parted out. Wings and tail removed and likely installed on another A380 body.
