Re: FPPs --> Porsche --> $$ ??

I am about to hit 3 million FPPs on Stars, which is enough for the Porsche. But I don't want a Porsche, I want the value of the Porsche in cash. I e-mailed Stars, and their response was:

This seems pretty silly, and I told them so, but they don't seem willing to budge. Anyone out there have any luck getting $$ instead of the car? Or has anyone sold the value of the credit to someone for cash and can give me advice regarding the best way to do so?

The problem here is that Stars believes their is a value in the publicity of giving away a Porsche. Giving away 60K is less. Plus its possible Porsche paid or traded for product placement on Pokerstars, hence the higher FPP value.
