MilesBuzz! - Convert AAdvantage miles into eBay points, then into cash

I thought this was an interesting auction.. though I value my AAdvantage miles quite a bit and would not let go of them:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Redeem those American Airlines AAdvantage Miles into EBAY ANYTHING POINTS and then into cash, example you bid $100 US funds using your accumulated EBAY ANYTHING POINTS (After redeeming your AAdvantage Miles) and I will send to your Paypal account 75% ($75) in US funds, within 5 business days Plus I will send to you an item of my choice "AS IS". Now you can use your AAdvantage miles as real money for ANYTHING. Fixed bid is $100.00 US. Where else can you turn your AAdvantage POINTS into REAL Cash with this little fuss? </font>

Looks like eBay just sparked a market for their Anything Points. Do a search...all sorts of auctions out there from people willing to buy your points for 60-85% of their eBay value.

Yawn.

Dunno what the folks at points.com and ebay are thinking. As if the initial exchange rate wasn't bad enough, they've made it worse. What used to be 13,889 AA miles -&gt; 10,000 anything points is now 20,000 AA miles -&gt; 10,000 anything points!
