Paid 19,500 for platinum Manor Club 2 years ago - it now sells for about 23,000 (they told me the exact figures, but I didn't write them down).
Called today. They said it'll be easy to sell it - I should net 13,500. (That's an about - 60% of current developer price). Of course this is a good price vs. ebay/etc.
Points are no longer worth it because of devaluation coming.
So......
If I sell it, I basically lose 6000 dollars. I did use my points for 4 flights to Hawaii and 2 hotel certs and one week at Manor Club this year (I get to use this year's week even if it sells in 2 days - which they said is likely). Do you think that's 6000 worth? (of course your answer is only a mental happy or sad).
It seems as though I could buy another one for less! (not saying I would do that - but geez - it sounds like someone with cash could pick one up on ebay for 8000 and sell it back - unless you can't sell back a resale?)
If I want points, I can buy them. I'm out from under 880 maintenance fees. I still have my Marriott Aruba.
If I keep it, I can use it. But right now I don't need it. We're using it this once - but we bought it (stupidly) for points - and now they're devalued. We can't use 3 weeks of vacation (we also own Hilton) - we love Aruba. Well... I could sell that one instead perhaps (bought that one resale) - but the great thing about OWNING Aruba is owning the view. I wouldn't want to trade into Aruba and risk not getting the view.
I realize I could rent it each year. I just hate the thought of that stress - but I'll listen to what you have to say.
You can tell I'm hoping to hear you say sell - but I am really asking advice.
