Welcome to Flyertalk,
pwoz51.
Buying and selling miles isn't considered appropriate here on Flyertalk, so I'm going to close the thread.
However, let me make a couple of suggestions. Exchanging (and voluntary good-hearted gifting) is often done over in
Coupon Connection. Advice on the accumulation of AA miles can be found in the
American Airlines forum.
No doubt a little creative advice on the part of other Flyertalkers will get you the miles you need in no time.
Good luck!
Regards,
Gary
