To some people, NW/DL miles have very little value. It's up to THEM, not 3rd parties, to decide what they would like to receive in exchange for those miles.

I had suggested this same thing on the "lowball" thread that was on CC.
Only question I would have is can I offer something outside those ranges stated? I would assume yes if I am the one offering what would be considered more of X than is "normal range" as I really need Y.
