never fully understood that ebay thing

do you suppose these ebay people had been persons or companies who had once bought the miles like you can in Mike's provided chart? And then they decided to unload them and do it this way? I have never looked at the ebay things because I have not yet had a need, but since you can only really assign awards to people and not individual miles in lots of say 1000 each, I started to figure that was what they were doing.

IS that so? If so, then yeah, I suppose that my product MAY be ok and could sell nicely... I still have to see if it is worth the initial upfront investment and do some sort of cost analysis based on time, etc.

thanks.

the only ebay thing I understand well involving miles is that current thread in the AA forum about ebay anything points. totally different deal though.
