Hi Tony - it would be interesting, but that would give the poll 42 categories, which is a bit much.

Maybe we could do another poll later regarding developer and resale purchases. How were you thinking of using the info.?

My thoughts are, by separating developer and resale purchases, we can show

1) resale purchases as a percentage of total purchases by Tuggers, which should be much higher than the same percentage for the general TS owner community, and

2) the more desirable resorts for resale purchases and the same for developer purchases.

Many bought before they found tug and a lot of owners of resale weeks bought developer weeks to requal/retro their resales so I don't think it will show a much Higher percentage of total resale purchases.

I don't know what these percentages are, but I can imagine the percenage could be as low as 5-10% for the general TS community and as high as 40-50% for Tuggers. Some Tuggers conceivably never bought any unit from developers (so their percentage would be 100%) and but the majority bought from developers and then found TUG. For them, the percentage is likely to be less than 50% (certainly for those who need to requal/retro their resale purchases).
 
100!

We just hit 100 on our poll! I think thats darn good for 48 hours!

I hope some of you lurkers will post once in awhile, too! :hi:

I would also be curious how many units were re-qual. As an addition (to this possible other poll) how many people are 3*, 4*, 5*. I'm just curious as all get out. :D . Seriously, that could help give "some" idea how successful the "elite" status promoted by Starwood may be here.

.BTW Thanks Denise

I would like to do some more polls in the future. If you have a suggestion of a good way to set one up, let me know.

We could do a poll for just requalified weeks using the same format as the current poll and the Elite Status poll would be pretty easy to set up.
 
eh..it shows 140 people voted in this poll...not 140 votes.

only 84 people put themselves as starwood owners in the main poll...that leaves nearly 60 starwood owners not on the main poll!
 
Sheraton Vistana...

Which I like and wouldn't sell even if someone begged me. If I had to do again I would buy something else, but now that I got it, and it was my 1st resale purchase I am attached to it.
 
booooo...where is my banstick! :rofl:

Only 4 people listed WSJ as a resort owned in the SVO poll, but there are 20+ Tuggers who list WSJ as a resort owned in their CP Users profile - a >80% under-representation.

Polls suffer dramatically in the over-interpretation of polling results...
HYAH!
 
whoops...haven't checked here in a while. Gotta love tax time.

I just voted.
 
Can you please modify my vote... I added a SDO unit over the weekend ;)



DONE! - DeniseM
