looks like he may think he can make money
hence the
I don't think the OP is looking for money. He used the term "value "to see if anyone would appreciate it.

OP, if I may ask, you said it was low'ish. May I know exactly what the redemption was?

Are you looking to make money or just to do a favor?

More importantly does someone know if they become available right away?

I think they were about 100,000 miles per ticket (FLL-JFK-TLV-JFK-FLL).

I wasn't even thinking about money, I was just asking a question if there is any value to the information or if somehow the airline just folds those seats into various other classes of inventory (maybe high classes so they can make a lot more on those seats due to last minute pricing).

100k is not bad. However, assuming you can buy revenue tickets for around $1300 you really don't get a great value out of the points.

Still, what is your question? You wanna post the dates you're booked on before you cancel them so on the chance they go back to inventory someone can grab them if they want?

I never had anyone offer 1.3 for Delta! Valuing at .01 he still saved around 300 per ticket...

Especially with such a large account like the OP, sure. Indeed for 50K you wont get 1.3, unless you find a desperate broker.

I've gotten offers for 1.4 for Delta if it was 300k miles or more.

I haven't seen any Delta $1300 to Israel from Florida. The lowest has been $1650-1750 (which is a ripoff IMO).

Also, while 100k isn't great (I found 85k last trip), I constantly monitor what's available and it's the best I've seen for many months (almost a year). Delta redemption generally sucks.
