This New Hampshire ebay week looks like it was a good buy for someone--your thoughts?

The trading power would still depend on whether the demand is more Regional, National, or International, according to RCI. My guess is the demand is high, but more at a Regional level than national. This would keep the trading power low. If you ever go there, ask where the people are from. I had the same kind of week in Pennsylvania. Yes, there was demand and the place was full all summer, but the people were all from PA, New Jersey, or New York. Because of the Regional demand, the trading power was low. There were no people in the Poconos from Europe or California who were there because they heard about what a beautiful place it was.

Where did RCI say this? Seems so...informative for them. That said, there are areas where the demand is strictly regional but the trading power is still high--Cape Cod springs to mind. And how about the Outer Banks, don't they have pretty good trading power? I thought demand was demand and supply was supply.

Sounds like RCI speak in answer to the question, Why does my resort trade so poorly when it is occupied all the time.

Oh, there are 3 components .....

I've never seen this either.

But you know, it could explain most things, your resort only has local demand, your resort only draws Nationally, or your resort only draws Internationally. Without .....

Perhaps on second thought demand is demand no matter where derieved.

I share that conclusion, Basham. Why would one get extra points for demand from specific areas.

MV at Crown Ridge is an RCI Points resort that is worth approx 57000 points. This assumes that you convert to points after the purchase. From a points standpoint, You can pretty much exchange into plenty of 2 bedroom Silver Crown resorts and even 1 bedroom or studio Gold Crown resorts. As far as trading power as a weeks deposit, I've never dealt with RCI, but with II,New England summer weeks are scarce. However, it may be more profitable to rent out the individual lockoffs and pay to rent somebody else's unit.

Being unfamiliar with RCI points, what is an 'average' week worth (in comparison to 57,000 points)

Hmmm, I have to say that I really don't know how well this week will/would trade.

My 'pure guess' is I would think that it would trade better than "...minimal at best." (It is prime summer in New England---though NOT near water.)

Can other TUGgers weigh in; does anyone have REAL experience with such a week?

Maybe I did NOT miss out on much----though I still feel I wish I'd been able to research ahead and bid on it.

I own this exact unit Week 10 even years. Quite a few years back we traded into Mt View and loved it so much we purchased a week right then and there w/o any sales pitch. We asked them! Over the years we have only traded it once as I have said that my family really loves the area and you can't beat 5 ski resorts within driving distance and great dining all around the area. This year is the first time I traded the week and I used TPI (tired of dealing with RCI with my numerous trades from my Orlando timeshare). I secured a week at Island Park Village outside of Yellowstone this July with the 2 bdrm and with the studio Lockoff I received Park Hotel in Salt Lake City. So for my one week at Mt View I was able to get 2 consecutive weeks out west.
I did also trade the studio one other year for a one bedroom at the Lodges at Loon. This was through RCI. I think I could have waited for a better trade but it was the location I was after. So for me it was a great trade.
If it was a tugger who won the week on ebay please message me if you ever want to direct trade my winter week for your summer week.
Whoever made this purchase got a great buy and I hope they enjoy it for many years as our memories there are priceless.
