Am I missing something?? Onepass auctions...

I just moved over to the onepass auctions site out of curiosity, and I was shocked. Someone was bidding something like 70,000 miles for a pair of $60 headphones. 70,000 miles!? There's this other thread about OP being a suckers program..... I think OP auctions is where some of the real suckers are.

Some of the concert tickets, if really redeemable at say 5,000 or 6,000 miles (they seem to attract little interest) is not that bad.

Good Deals

Good deals do pop-up from time to time, especially with sporting and arts/entertainment events.

But with billions of unused OnePass miles out there and folks more willing to burn mileage online than in the air, you'll see more auctions like the pair of blue Elite Access carpets that are about 80,000 miles for both as of this writing.
