It's not really a problem, when I move them they will parse automatically.

Thanks Denise -- I do have the box checked, but they're still not parsing. I'll keep adding to the list. BTW, have you noticed that there haven't been any Fountains weeks since May (figures, it's the one I'm looking for). Any thoughts on why that might be?

Wow! A new low. An unbelievable low. At this price, it may be worth paying more MFs and dealing with special assessments, etc. Somehow I think this is an anomaly.

BTW, did you notice that the image the seller used was for the Deluxe units?

Yes - I listed it as a Deluxe unit in my post, but I'm not sure if it is or not. They listed it as UNIT SIZE: 1,550 Square Feet, which is deluxe, but I am sure the MF was off. The phrase "ocean view possible," also hints at a deluxe unit.

LOL - no. I am definitely not in the market for more weeks. I'm scheduling a trip to Africa for next year and it's going to be difficult to use the weeks I have already, much less all the SPG points I try to use each year. I think I have the optimal number of weeks for me, though depending on how the II trading ends up I may give away my SVR weeks and get something else.

I do have friends who are considering a purchase so look around now and then (they're not in a rush)... but even they aren't serious about Maui. I'm just as amazed at the prices as you are. I would normally think they would be lower in November and December, but I just don't see how they could be much less than than are now. I'm hoping these are simply signs of the times and are the exceptions.

Strange thing about the WKORV 1 bdrm auction is that the seller lists it as an annual, then states near the bottom that it's an even year usage....but is asking for 2009 mf?

There are MF every year, for an every other year deed. 1/2 the MF is paid in 2009 and half is paid in 2010, and the total pays for the 2010 usage.

This is what the Ad says:

Bi-Annual Deeded Property, Does not Expires
Bi-Annual Even Year Usage WEEKS: 1-52(Floating); - Friday, Saturday, Sunday Check-In/Out
An Interval International Affiliated Resort
Maintenance Fees to be Paid Annually are $946.51
Usage starts 2010. A guest reservation can be made for you at auction's end to ensure 2010 usage.

The 1 bdrm listing stated an annual fee of $1684 for an EOY unit (even year), with the first mf due for 2009.

I just emailed the seller and they corrected the listing. It is in fact an annual usage. The seller also agreed to bank the 09 week and give me first usage in 2010 if I purchase it. I might bite here. I've wanted a WKORV from the beginning here, and $6700 for an annual 1 bdrm seems like a steal...especially if I dont have to pay the MF this side of the year.

My hesitation is this new tax assessment. Does anyone know what the fee increase will be on the 1 bdrm units? Its at $1684 now...is that inclusive?

No one know - the quoted MF would have been from last year. The 2010 MF bills won't be out until Nov. - Dec. I would expect the MF to go up 10% or more + the tax increase of $200 or more.

Yikes...I could be look at an annual fee of $2000 ish on a 1 bdrm?

I just did the buy it now on the auction at $6700...first question is whether or not this is a good price given the current situation with the resort?

Im definitely having 2nd thoughts on this one.

Is it really an Ocean View unit, or IV? I don't like that it said "possible ocean view" in the description.

Either way, I have to think that $6798 is a great price for a 1 bed unit there. And yeah... the MF is expensive. And, it will only go up.

Keep in mind that t/s sales on eBay aren't binding (though I don't know if that's also true with buy it now purchases). Good luck with your decision.

Its not binding....there was a little msg when I hit the buy it now button saying that it's not binding, and that it just means that im interested in exploring a deal.

Ill call SVO re: the view....and IV would kill it for me.

Do you have the deeded unit number? (I'm curious about what you are going to ask SVO?)

Cant Starwood tell me if its OV or IV if I give them the contract #?

I don't know if they will - the contract info. is confidential owner info. If you have the deeded unit number, they should. Did the seller send you their contract number?

The broker provided me with the contract #, and SVO verified that it is an Oceanview unit and that there are no owning balances on the unit.

Still on the fence whether to move forward...$6700 really seems like a no brainer price...but that annual fee with the possible assessment is really making me flinch.

not intended to be nit-picky - but this thread was intended for closed eBay auctions... (due to the potential of violating TUG advertising rules)

keeping in mind - just because they closed does not mean they were successfully completed.

No and it was sold by Redweeks4less. Not a company with a stellar reputation.
