"I hear the miles a comin´
They're rolling round the bend
And I ain´t seen the fondue since I don´t know when,
I´m stuck in Albertsons, and time keeps draggin´ on
but that plane keeps a rollin´ on down to DFDub
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don´t ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to get 1A
When I don't get my upgrade, I hang my head and cry..."

As a veteran ebay seller with over 1000 ebay sales under my belt I can say that without question an effective title is VITAL for an auction to be successful as most potential buyers search for particular key words in the title. In my view this seller did an extremely poor job in selecting their title as their title doesn't even mention the key words "American Airlines" so they are missing many potential buyers.

And the first guy DID sell 3000 for 100 earlier here http://cgi.ebay.com/3000-Aadvantage-...em320050818543
Hopefully the ebayers don't buy them all up though until I can get a handful for myself.

Has anyone received their miles yet? I was thinking they should start trickling into accounts by now, but haven't seen any reports of that.

I was just wondering if anybody had any information on a possible group purchase. No luck here in Boca Raton, only non-promotional fondue at Publix for $11.99.

online source for cheese miles
Found an online source, even if the price is high (case of 12 for $107.40):
http://gourmetsleuth.com/pDetail.asp?p=913
Confirmed with the company that they are all new packaging with AA miles.
Hope it's useful to someone else.
