Marriott has some great ads sent to owners telling them how much their weeks are worth and how much the weeks have appreciated in value since they purchased. This is great marketing of a good product. The reality is that you can buy a week for $10,000, $20,000, $30,000, or even $40,000 less resale than you can buy it from Marriott. There is not much chance that the Points offered could equal a savings of $30,000 or more although I am intrigued and researching the value of points. Any Marriott week you are interested in is available resale for 10's of thousands of dollars less than you can buy one from marriott. The sad thing is that red week is one of the higher priced resale sites on the web. Anything you buy on e-bay will be half price or less than the red week prices. Knowledge is power. The next time Marriott tells you what Marriott's are selling for, you have real figures to refute the marketing hype. The 3 resorts you quoted Marriott on are listed below with current sale prices on Marriott. Yes some of them are Platinum. Go to
www.redweek.com and click on the individual ads to see if they are platinum or not. Marriott will ROFR e-bay sales often because they are sold at good prices, but they will rarely ROFR the red week prices. By the way, these are asking prices and most owners will take considerably less if you make them an offer. You can lead a horse to water but you can't stop him from buying retail.
