Buying BA Avios from a third party

[hugo r]

Someone has offered me 27k avois for 240 (that’s with the transfer fee) A is this a good deal , B is this against terms and conditions of BA as I don’t want any problems with my account etc

AA See below.
AB Yes.

This has been warned against in the strongest possible terms here, including by Rob iirc.

Do you know the person well, or is it a random on, e.g. Ebay?

It’s permitted to gift Avios, but the T&Cs state no value can be offered in exchange:

When their account is closed yours will be too. Not just your Avios balance gone, redemption tickets can be lost too.
