Nice promo actually;
90000 miles for 1500 USD ( Classic/Classic Plus )
100000 miles for 1500 USD ( Elite/Elite Plus )
However, I would prefer a status mile multiplier rather than a bonus mile one.
Although, as award availability is wide-open throughout carriers, it could be feasible to purchase miles and use them on other *A carriers Business product.

It's worth highlighting that these purchased miles expire on 30 November, 2021. That is 18 months from now instead of the usual 3+ years.
So definitely just for a buy and burn reward option and a hope that COVID won't still be messing with international travel in 2021...

TK selling miles with bonus up to 100%
Seems TK is following US airlines in trying to raise cash through selling miles https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-t...s-awaiting-you
Best price on US site is for elite buying 50k with 100% bonus, bringing cost to 1.5c (USD).
Campaign details
Purchase period 11 June 2020 – 21 June 2020
Mile expiration Date 31 November 2021
Would not be a buyer myself at the moment, but some may be interested

Only the extra miles have a limited validity.
For me as an EP, if I buy 100K miles, I’ll pay $3K and get 100K miles to expire in 3 years and another 100K extra miles to expire on Nov 30 2021.

But it still means that you have a large chunk of miles that will expire in 2021.
As many have found out, booking reward flights with soon-to-expire miles becomes a complete mess if those flights subsequently don't operate. 2021 SHOULD be better than 2020 in that respect, but I wouldn't place a big bet on all of us being vaccinated or all countries being wide open to tourists until 2022 or 2023...

I was hoping for Marrakech, but i'm happy with Muscat.
