I usually don't see a lot of really misleading auctions, but this one is at the top of my list. I was very interested in 101K RCI Points annually, $780 MF's. Then I read through the entire auction. It's $780 X 2! Two weeks 50,500 points each, not 101K for $780. I almost bid on that one. It's hard to read the auction, because it's extra wide on my little 13" laptop screen, so I had to reduce the screen to 75% and still had to move side-to-side to see everything.

Usually Selling Time Guys is an okay company to buy. But they are renting DVC exchanges on eBay under the name Renting Time Guys, so I am a little put off by their entire operation. That should make everyone mad.

There is a link on eBay auction pages to "turn them in" for inappropriate auction activities.

I'm not positive this would apply - but it should as it seems they are deliberately downplaying the full cost of this ownership.

I clicked on "avoiding eBay fees" and then on "avoiding multiple item listing fees" as that is what he is doing "bundling". I couldn't find another category to report it for.

DVC is the only thing I can get anymore with RCI Points, and only off-season. My points cost a lot more than $780 for 101K. My son was interested in owning that one. My points are around .014, so seriously, that would be a good deal, if it was true. Of course it's not true. :rolleyes: Not many RCI Points deals are all that good now.
