Part of the issue here is that we are dealing with competing interests. "Real brokers" have an interest in posting deflated prices to keep their costs down. Sellers have an interest in posting inflated ones to get paid more. Why are the deflated numbers from real brokers better than the inflated ones from sellers?
very intelligent and true post!

Thus establishing a range.

Exactly, but if we listen only to the "real brokers" then we automatically deflated prices.

I agree.
My point is that making something posted by brokers will not be an improvement over the current thread.

You think sellers posting inflated prices on ddf will cause brokers to pay more?? Brokers know what the miles are worth they don't give 2 hoots what you saw on ddf.

Is that why someone wanted me to buy Hilton from them yesterday at 1 cpp? No, ranges don’t matter,  it’s because they read somewhere that someone sometime got that and they think that’s what they’ll get today
