The reason why I posted this was that if we are ready to pay $1200 for 55K Starpoints to fly across the pond on a Concorde or across the world to DEL, does it not make monetary sense buying a Starwoodvo property from the resale market and convert Staroptions to Starpoints at will.

Best part is that, your initial investment still has value, i.e. you can sell it off unlike miles.
