There's been a number of threads with AA credit card sign up bonuses of up to 75,000 miles, though that seems to have dropped to 50,000 miles now. I'd look at some of those. Two credit cards and you'd have 100,000 miles.
Also, note that all AA award seats are not available on line. You won't see Iberia, Air Berlin or British Airways without calling. Even if you have 100,000 miles there's no guarantee of an award seat.
Be VERY leary about buying miles from someone you don't know. AA does audit and close accounts. If they find out the miles have been sold you could end up on the wrong side of the Atlantic with no way home. See:
Thinking of trading/selling miles/VIPs-- think twice
Why not just buy two coach seats and not worry about whether upgrades will clear or be offered?
