Lets get back OT. What are large amounts of WF going for?
I think you'd be the best to answer that, I doubt many people here are dealing with that.

Would it be a problem booking 7 rooms for one night and then 8 rooms for the following night from the same account if the the account holder will not be present at all?
ETA: All the same property.

Didn't one of the so called big companies go bankrupt last year?
Yes. He trusted people he shouldn't have.

MR. sold millions of miles, should know better than me who never sold anything. But I'm not giving access to 500k+ before I get the $ unless I know the guy really well. I could send a screen shot first if that helps but not giving access
I have noticed the majority of inexperienced sellers feel this way makes more sense. The reality is usually the opposite, for obvious reason.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

when I finally settle on a definition of "reality" I'll know if you're right or wrong.

With the current Amex to ba transfer bonus, is it worth it to transfer if I'm thinking of selling?

There's no arbitrage opportunity on an instant transfer.
