Would not sell or barter with a broker.

The best thing to do is find a trusted friend/associate/relative who has the kind of points you want. You book him a ticket and he books you one. These transactions of course do not have to be simultaneous.

If ever questioned, say your friend/associate/relative gave you the ticket. This is legit.

Going to Flyertalk events is a good way to meet people to trade with. Always better to eyeball the other guy.
