resale

Buyer beware. I bought a resale at Oakmont in Pigeon Forge, TN through the seller named timeshares4u on eBay. It was a good deal, cheap maintenance fees, and it's a property my daughter and I will enjoy for several years. The problem is the timeshare was listed as *FREE 2019 USE* in the title...

I am shopping around for timeshare/vacation club to join. I've listened to the pitch for a few and read up on others. I came across Vistana on Red Week and noticed a number of the units going for as low as $1 dollar. There has to be some sort of catch here. -Why are people practically...

Does anyone happen to know whether you can use the Wyndham Ovation system to turn in points that you purchased off the resale market? Does it matter if it's deeded or CWA?

I am a current owner of 241,000 flex options. I use them to book at the same place every year, the Sheraton Steamboat Villas. I would love the opportunity to get into that massive three-bedroom mountainside Villa in the Morningside tower but that would require a purchase of an additional 16,700...

I have been reading through a lot of these forums. I was really close to hiring one of those exit companies. I am not a numbers person, so all of this $1 per point stuff confuses me. Anyway, I'm looking for advice on a fair price for my TS. I own a 1 br at the Tuscany Village. I have an annual...

I have looked through the forums and I think I'm getting the answer I need, but figured I'd ask specifically. We are considering buying into HGV. For example, say we purchased 7000 to 9000 points at one of the Orlando properties, would we get the same benefits if we purchase resale as we...

Hi everyone, I am so glad I found this group/site! You are all certainly a wealth of information! I am new-ish to timesharing. My parents owned one at Wapato Point in Manson/Lake chelan, Washington for 25 years and we went yearly. Absolutely loved it. When I grew up, for the last number of...

Ok, so I've owned with Welk Resorts for 3 years now and overall, after a rough start and learning how to best utilize my points and bonus weeks etc, we have been making positive ground on our investment. My questions that I can't find a direct answer to on here are these: 1-If I buy more points...

= Hi there everyone, Loooooong time lurker, first time poster. I just had a two hour experience with the “owner update” team at Wyndham Oceanside Pier. I’ll try to make this as brief as possible. First, thank you in advance to all of you who share so much wisdom, experience, and insight on...

Good Morning, I attended my very first timeshare presentation yesterday at Wyndham, Williamsburg, VA. I totally fell for the presentation without doing my usual research and due diligence. (I know,-STUPID!) Since I still have 6 more days to back out, I'm asking for assistance. Note: I have...

How does one delete a post?

I searched the site and found a few postings but no answers yet - Im trying to figure out what 10,000 Royal Holiday points translates to? I have a family of 5 so we generally want at least a 1 br. Does anyone that owns RH have access to points charts? And how would that transfer into RCI if we...

In case anyone is interested, as of last week, posted on the bulletin board by the Redbox at the WKORV lobby is a list of about 2 dozen weeks that are going up for auction at a location in Maui (the courthouse I believe) in a few weeks. I should have taken a picture of the 2 pages, but I didn't...

While on Maui the last two weeks I was talking to a local broker about how I had kept waiting to see the uptick in listings everyone says occurs once MF notices come out. While I'd been tracking MOC Lahaina winter listings since 4Q2016, he noted that even he was surprised at how few new...

Timeshare Brokers Associates offered to sell my 420,000 points in Myrtle Beach for about $2500 Without fees. They said fees would be the responsibility of the buyer, ~ $500. Does anyone have experience with them?

Has anyone heard of Worldwide Travel Events out of Naperville, IL? They have contacted me about purchasing my Vidanta Grand Luxxe Master Suite. Can't find any info on them, and they are talking about a high price. I asked about how they conduct the transfer and they said they would use First...

Happy to share that for Christmas I got the gift of exiting all of my Wyndham timeshares! Starting January 1 no more maintenance fees for us!!! If you’re looking to get out of a Platinum size membership that is paid off pm me and I’ll try to connect you with the North Pole (aka someone...

Good day, all! I am an owner at Westin Nanea. I pre purchased from the developer in October of 2016. I am using my timeshare and am happy to have it. I am considering purchasing more. Nanea wants to sell me the other half (EOYE) for 26k, or I can get WKORV for 33k. That being said, I want...

We are investigating a Marriott resale TS purchase - and even willingly went to a presentation at Myrtle beach so as to be well informed. (We are TS owners at a Mexican resort and thus have an RCI account plus we have a reasonably good TUG based knowledge background). They “offered” to empty...

Hi everyone, I am thinking of purchasing a timeshare and am in the research phase. This forum has been very helpful! I do have a few questions and I apologize if they seem too basic I just want to make sure that I am understanding properly. 1. Has anyone purchased through...

where if the best place to buy HGVC resale?

I am 28 and I recently received some money and was thinking about purchasing. I did a presentation and really like HGVC and the concept and I've seen that I need to purchase resale but I'm wondering am I too young? The package I was looking at was 3400 points and I can buy out-right. I travel...

I own at Oceanwatch and am "founding member". We were given privilege to use facilities 24/365. We do visit fairly often. My question is that we have friends that would like to buy a resale and be able to have the least expensive summer week (resale, I am guessing) and have the same...

After much research on this site (and others) we decided to purchase a couple of contracts resale through eBay. We bought 168k biennial odd at Bonnet Creek ($680 all in) and 126k biennial even at Cypress Palms ($0 - winning bid was too low to bother with apparently). The Bonnet Creek transfer...

I have bought and sold several timeshares and for the first time someone is asking to cancel at the 11th hour. Signed agreement and resort assignment signed on seller (me) side. The contract says I can keep their money if they back out but I don't think that is fair (+/- $6,000). They have...

Hello, I attended a sales presentation and ended up purchasing a VIP package so that I could really spend some time doing some research to understand all the moving parts. Needless to say I'm glad I didn't buy. I'm thinking about making a purchase for $10,500 for 14K points and $2100...

We are trying to learn more about possibly purchasing a resale week at the Marriott Newport Coast Villas, Gold Season, Annual. We are not interested in the DC program, because we really like the NCV (having stayed there via II Exchanges and Getaways in the past). We have already read a...
