Marriott exercised ROFR on an EOY 2 BR Grand Chateau week for $1750. A few weeks ago, I had tried $750 and I thought about trying $1750 as I saw some weeks that had passed for $1k.

Looking at the database, it seems like Marriott is failing a high percentage of the Grand Chateau units. A few years ago, it was much easier to get a "pass".

If you keep on trying by offering an amount that is close to the "strike" zone or slightly above it, eventually you'll succeed.

Alternatively, consider doing a Google search of Marriott timeshares not subject to ROFR. I recall that there were eight. Desert Spring Villas 1 is one of them.

Yes, this is what I did when I purchased my first Marriott TS. I bought a resale week in HHI (Summer) that was not subject to ROFR. I think there are currently 9 Marriott resorts not subject to ROFR and they all exchange through RCI and II still. They are:
-Streamside: Birch, Douglas (Not Evergreen)
-Cypress Harbour
-Desert Springs Villas I (not Desert Springs Villas II)
-Harbour Club
-Heritage Club
-Monarch
-Royal Palms
-Sabal Palms
-Sunset Pointe

If you are worried about not passing ROFR but really want to own in Marriott and possibly trade, then IMO I suggest buying from one of these resorts. My HHI resort trades well in II and RCI.

And while it was included in your list, you didn't mention Harbour Point though it's on your list. To my knowledge not all of those trade through RCI.

I don't think FC, HP/SP, FV or Heritage do.

I got confused by the math. @wmp0719 listed nine but there were eleven in the list on the sticky. So I identified two more. The problem was that in the nine, Cypress Harbour was listed, but it does have ROFR.

I also don't think RCI has anything to do with RCI other than coincidence. Early on with Marriott their resorts were affiliated with RCI, so most of those early ones trade in RCI as well as their new affiliation II. Some other resorts don't have ROFR for legal reasons, such as Frenchman's Cove.

Correct Marriott was with RCI early and as such, their early resorts were with RCI and when they moved to II, those resorts became dually affiliated. HP as an existing resort was already with II so even though it was the earliest surviving resort in the system it is not usable with RCI.

I think that may have been mine, that I just bought. I’m very excited. I just bought my first timeshare. I just got the deed but it is still going through the process with the Maui Ocean Club to get my membership ID. I bought a 1BR ocean view, every other year useage for $3,150. I’m going to enter it onto ROFR.net as soon as I get my membership info. from Marriott. Yeah, exciting!
No - this is one I bought for $3200. I'll post on ROFR.net once I have my deed in hand. I did see someone else bought one for $3,150 on ROFR.net - that must be You!

Wow, congrats! Yes, the $3,150 is mine. I'm getting addicted now, I'm searching for some 2 BR's to buy. The only bummer about just closing on it recently is that I couldn't book February (when we like to go) because it was all booked up by the time that I got my member number. Oh well, there's always 2022 or I just might rent from someone. I have mine up for rent for a January week that I found available.

Marriott Maui Lahaina Tower... I didn't expect Mox' 2BR to pass at $27K, and it didn't.

Todd's did pass at $33K, equates to about $4.50/Point, which is starting to bracket the fail at $30K... Would suggest $33K might be new floor for 2BR OF Lahaina/Napili towers, but the ROFR wild card is still in play with a $30K pass in April.

I wonder if the fixed week made a difference between the $30K pass and fail. ($4/Point)

  • Maui Ocean Club - Lahaina and Napili Villas 5/22/2019 Fixed 50 Annual 2BR Ocean Front $33,000.00 Passed Todd W
  • Maui Ocean Club - Lahaina and Napili Villas 5/15/2019 Platinum Annual 2BR Ocean Front $27,000.00 Failed Joe Cambra
  • Maui Ocean Club - Lahaina and Napili Villas 5/8/2019 Fixed 44 Annual 2BR Ocean Front $30,000.00 Failed Todd W
  • Maui Ocean Club - Lahaina and Napili Villas 4/1/2019 Platinum Annual 2BR Ocean Front $30,000.00 Passed Tres Gatos

I think one of mine just hit a record. Shadow Ridge Villages Platinum exercised in one hour and fifty minutes. Has anyone ever seen a response that fast before?

I thought my recent Waiohai pass was fast at about 5 or 6 days. Yours must be a record.

Or you can just keep checking back with Marriott for February. Things often open up.

You mean they took it back right? Or did it pass ROFR?

That's good to know, thanks.
They told me some people call daily. Last year I was able to change my dates so I could string 3 weeks together. It was much better than having to stay in a hotel for one night mid-stay.

We are thinking of selling half of our MOC Lahina tower to a family member. Does anyone one know if Marriott would be able to exercise ROFR on a share of a unit? I wouldn't think they could.

The CC&R's prohibit the subdivision of a timeshare interest. You could probably get away with adding them to your deed in exchange for quiet money, but that creates the issue of a shared co-ownership. Tread warily.

You would have to add them to your deed and if you have other ownerships it'll make the MOC a separate membership.

We would just add a name to the deed, not officially split the interest. We don't own any other MOC interest.

It's not just other MOC interests but Marriott weeks in general that are the issue.
