I should have known better …
… except it turned out in my favor.
After reading a thread on the Wyndham forum about no bids on eBay, I thought, "What about WorldMark?"
Same thing -- multiple good auctions expiring without any bids. Buyers' market!
Sooooo … I am now the winning bidder on a recent WorldMark auction (only 1 bidder, essentially a Buy It Now price). Factoring in the 3 months of dues, plus $199 closing, plus $0.07/credit for the two years of available credits, the total price was $0.14/credit plus the $299 transfer fee. I purchased WorldMark from the seller about 8 years ago, so no hesitation there.
There is another eBay auction in the next few days for more credits that amounts to the same cost-per-credit at the initial bid,if anyone is in the market.
There have been some recent eBay auctions at even better prices.
For myself, I will be combining my new purchase with a 6k account, saving almost $200 on that account per year. nice!
Then next year rolling another 6k account into the combined account, saving another $200/year.
I love, love, love my WorldMark.
