Starting bids of Silver at $2,500 and Gold $5,000, which if a DM sold two GM for $10,000 that could be used to offset the required 35k MQD. But, I would not want to be this individual whom after spending either OPM or my money for 35k MQD to be thrown out and banned from the SkyMiles program for selling gifted status.
