The real indicator for the market price, I think, is the price of Club Wyndham Access. Those contracts, for some reason, have been attracting the bids.

When 350,000 CWA contracts start appearing on EBay for under $1000 all-in, then things have changed

700,000 points for under $2000 all-in. The seller pays mf until transfer is complete (May or June?). If the buyer can use all 707,000 points before the end of the year, the CWA contract is essentially free.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/576-000-PO...690388?hash=item4b33a04bd4:g:1bQAAOSw-wJaOqmU

576,000 points with no bids at $1799.

It was not that long ago that CWA was selling for $5-10/1000.

It is the slow season, but things have changed versus the slow season of the past few years. There are some fantastic bargains for anyone who has been thinking about buying in.

So , if CWA is what Wyndham is pushing and Deeded contracts are now longer available, where are all the resale deeds... And why are the CWA contracts not selling, for that price.. A few months ago tuggers were saying they believe CWA was the way to go as well, they sold on ebay then...

Deeded contracts are still available. Someone posted fairly recently that he has CWA points and they tried to sell him deeded points. I joked that sales has come full circle!

Just like what happened to the new resorts will be CWA only.
Clearwater Beach and Desert Blue still aren’t listed as CWA resorts. Desert Blue was pushing deeded contracts when I was there a few months ago.
I haven’t been to Clearwater Beach to know what they are pushing.
Last summer at an update at Oceanside Pier they were pushing CWA because new resorts like Clearwater Beach are CWA. An owner questioned that because Clearwater wasn’t listed as CWA at that time. The presentation rep didn’t know what to say. Then he stated Wyndham must be waiting to make the announcement on January 1, 2018. I’m still waiting on that one

Wyndham Avon is all deeded Presidential Reserve. Steamboat Springs will sell deeded contracts or CWA. None of this has anything to do with the original post which implied that an all-in $280 resale was some kind of aberration. It was just another $1 timeshare that has been around since the Great Recession of 2008.

What has changed since 2015 is that the resale Ebay pricing is flashing a buy signal for CWA contracts (and the Wyndham resale market in general). There are many advantages to buying CWA versus a deeded property. For buyers, NOW is the best time in years to buy a Wyndham resale -- deeded or CWA.

I have been thinking about unloading my Club Wyndham contracts. Now I am thinking about unloading my deeded Club Wyndham contracts and buying CWA instead, because my current home resort is part of CWA and I need the Advance Reservation Priority. If I find a 300,000-ish CWA for the same deal as that 707,000 CWA (probabilities seem favorable), it will be a no-brainer -- the ARP I need at Pagosa plus many other resorts just in case.

I thought I was caught in some sort of time warp reading this thread... Very interesting comparison though.

Things have changed, and Club Wyndham just keeps getting more and more affordable on the resale market. Years of Ovation give-backs have done nothing to increase resale prices.


1,117,000 CWA points -- $44 all-in


1,687,000 CWA points -- $37 all-in


1,331,000 CWA points -- $534 all-in

Is it possible Wyndham snagged these up?
