[ 2008 ] SVO eBay Sales

I know that you know. ;)

But when you compare the difference in price, I just can't justify owning OF at WKORV.

Exactly my point - I know that you cannot justify - and I know that you know that I know...:D

DnR and W5S (likely) can justify WKORV OF (because we have to... :p )- although I wish I had only paid $25K... AND that the Dlx MFs were not >$3K (or that we got the service that went along with these MFs)
 
WKV 148 SO for 13200$

I just saw this auction that ended last night on ebay. No reserve. What a drop in price !

There was one a week ago that ended at $17.5K sold by lss2838.

I wouldn't read too much into a single auction from a disreputable seller... If I was looking for another unit, that would have been a price much lower than recent auctions, but, like David said - it's redweeks4less - not sure I need the headache...

Here is the BBB rating for the closing company...it says it all

http://www.bbb.org/knoxville/busine...-timeshare-closing-in-sevierville-tn-90005226
 
WKORV sold for $8,000; WPORV (eoy) sold for $760

These eBay auction closing prices are scary low:


(1) WKORV; 2 bd; annual; ocean view; 6/8/2010; $8,000

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300433498630&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT


(2) WPORV; 2 bd; eoy; 6/8/2010; $760

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220612908730&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT


Blame it on the MF's; blame it on the economy; blame it on the sellers. It doesn't matter. Someone paid $33,000 for this WPORV and lost over 97% of his/her "investment" within a couple of years.

It Starwood were better managed, it would be a wake-up call.

WSJ BV 2Bd EOY-even (float: wk34-50) - $4050

Since there are not many WSJ BV (Bay Vista) villas showing up on the resale market (yet) - I thought this one is of interest.

WSJ BV 2Bd EOY-even (float: weeks 34 -50) - $4050 (6/2/2010)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150440154573&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

greattimesharebargains seems to be a reputable seller

ps - also wanted to bump the eBay sales thread to make sure separate threads are not started.

Did you post these two David? Sorry if redundant.

Week 20, One-BR/Two-Bath, Annual, Saturday check-in, Sold for $2377

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260586076674&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I wanted it ... had a snipe ready at auctionstealer.com .... thought it bumped up against our Memorial week unit ... but I was off by a week so pulled the bid. :bawl:


Week 19, Studio, Annual, Sold for $1676

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370391285619&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

No - I don't think I did (of course I seem to have 'rum-induced amnesia') and not sure if someone else had - but I was tracking at one point.

WSJ was selling a studio (week 27) for the asking price >$20K (maybe $30K?) - what a bargain. I told her that these are going for just a few thousand on ebay - she discounted of course. I should have taken notes during the owners update - but wasn't in the mood to deal with closer lady - and she wouldn't give them to me.

Keep in mind - the seller of this auction is Redweek4less ('nuff said)

Just an FYI, I have bought about 5 weeks from this company (IA Vacations) and have never had problems. I just closed on a WKV and it was done within about 2 weeks with no issues. I am going to post feedback as soon as SVN transfers it to my name.

Last week, same seller, EY 2-br at Four Seasons Aviara - $5,840. 1 1/2 years ago it would have sold for $15,000+.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260625655297&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Last week, deluxe 1-br at Starwood's SDO, $1 to open - No bidders.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370401358694&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

In May new home sales were down 33% from April. Worst drop ever.

http://consumerist.com/2010/06/new-home-sales-drop-to-record-low-down-33.html

It's the economy. Most people are sitting tight and holding on to their cash in case it gets worse. ... eom

Hi Kath - I just saw this - are you saying IA Vacations is RedWeeks4less on eBay? {did I miss this link?} Interesting - RW4L has their own thread in the Buying forum that is not positive (as well as my personal observations of their eBay auctions over the years). Glad it worked out for you...

I've bought through RW4L - it's the same. I wasn't at all thrilled with the end-to-end experience, but they got the job done. I think I gave them a "C" in the ratings.
 
who put the 'bump' in the 'su-be-do-be-do-bump' - I did...

congrats - not to long ago 1bd WKORV EY were selling for mid-$10Ks

eBay broker really did the seller a disservice with poor auction headers
