Looks that way.
Since they did not put Westin in the eBay Titles - my search would not catch it. What a disservice by the broker to the seller (to not have Westin in the eBay Titles).

"no reserve" ebay auction

Did you see the recent ebay auction for Mission Hills? The description says "no reserve", but the opening bid has to be $11,500. I would call this a reserve, wouldn't you?

I paid about $27k for 148,000 staroptions on ebay at Harborside Atlantis, Phase 1 Deluxe 2 bedroom lockoff, Week 2 Fixed, with maintenance paid for the year.

Seemed like a good deal considering PHase II has worse views and no 2 bedrooms this big and they were about $45 to 50k for Platinum from the builder.

A poster asked about this so I thought I'd bump up the thread. - If you are interested in providing ebay sales data to update Owner Resources - this is the place to do it. :hi:

At this point I would recommend not doing this thread. Prices are so unreasobably low on eBay right now due to the economy that I think it would seriously hurt everyone's chances of resale if these freefalling prices are preserved on a TUG thread forever and ever.

My advice to those buying right now is to watch ebay for about a month and record the prices of similar units on a simple spreadsheet. Then you can make an "educated guess" about what the going price is at a particular resort.

Just my thoughts of course.

I would tend to disagree - the purpose was for final sales on eBay - not ones sitting out there unsold (e.g. didn't meet reserves, zero bids). It would be good info to track this info since it is the ONLY source of resale SVO TS prices (albeit somewhat unreliable) - outside of those here willing to share their prices (uncommon). btw, for those reading this far - we paid ~$15K for our last (and final) one.

I was tracking WKV, WSJ, and WKORV because those the ones that were of interest to me (but as stated in the other thread) - we're topped out (+1).
