The auction I looked at sold for less than $4,000 -- $3,595.
This is a Worldmark policy, not ours. WorldMark by Wyndham. WorldMark also allows traveling owners with families the extra space and privacy, while avoiding the expense, worry, and inconvenience of having to split up the family into two or more rooms.

Add in $199 closing and $299 transfer fee = $4,093. The buyer is paying $1,195 for 20k credits valued at either $1,745.40 (the current maintenance fees on 20k) or $1,600 (the $0.08/credit rental rate) -- a savings of $405 or $550. $4,093 - $405 = $3,688 actual purchase price. The other $727.25 is a prepayment of the Sept. - Jan. maintenance fees. The new owner will get the use of the credits associated with those maintenance fees, so it is no different than if they became an owner the moment the auction ended (which they did, it will just take a few months for the owner to gain access to the WorldMark system). All the "additional" costs did was save the new owner from having to rent-in 20k credits to book their 5 weeks at WorldMark Oceanside or wherever they want in the WorldMark system the moment the transfer is officially completed.
