Website to Sell or Trade Frequent Flyer Miles?

I have 25,000+ US Airways Dividend miles that I don't see a use for. They don't have much for direct flights where we live and our vacations for this year and next are already planned and paid for.

Have you found any websites that manage trades or sales? Is that even legal to do? If not, I'll donate them, but I thought I'd check first.

You cannot sell them to other individuals. You could book a trip for someone you know though. You can also exchange points through points.com, but you lose a lot of value and I can't remember if US Airways is even a partner there.

Yeah the fees required to gift someone else miles are pretty crazy. I looked into points.com but it wouldn't have been worth it to me. I have 16k miles on continental, so not quite enough for a flight.
