Just don't.. Things can and do happen to miles and accounts when you go grey market. Let alone black market.

Congratulations on being #2 on the hot thread list even though you only have four posts. You replaced another new poster with a somewhat-similar story on United yesterday, except he or she asserts they were a United 1K with 400,000 miles in their account. (Which United closed. They were upset. So was United).

If you have more miles than you think you can ever possibly use, then find a deserving friend or relative that has a legitimate need and spring for their ticket. (Back when we had more AA currency than we knew what to do with, we flew a seriously-ill missionary back home from Asia, and a few people last-second with family emergencies they could not otherwise have afforded to go to).

But since I mentioned it in the title, I hope this isn't some kind of a Mass Communications class experiment in how many threads you can get with a teaser post. Might have seen a few of those on Flyer Talk over the years. (But hey, if it was you did get 24 posts in two days).
