I've never sold a mile in my life, but if I could truly and safely sell my HA miles for a penny a mile I would. Where would one do this?

My wife and I were each saving up for the Virgin 70,000 mile worldwide coach award (and, sadly, was within a month of redeeming for that award when they pulled it). The only way I could get close to replicating that value would be to sell at a penny a mile (and then buy a mileage earning ticket on another carrier where I have elite status).

My other realistic alternative would be to redeem into HHonors. I'm thinking of doing that promptly because, if they pull that redemption, my options would be extremely limited. I personally don't value 140,000 HHonors points at $700. More like $500 (admittedly low, but I'd have other options for hotel redemptions).

If it were practical to redeem on DL, I'd do that, but it's been confirmed here that such redemptions are essentially imposslble (no surprise, given how horrific Skypeso redemptions are for DL metal).

BTW, has there any interest in HA miles on Flyertalk's coupon connection?
