Up until recently, I have only had interest in being a "Fixed Weeks" owner. I still own only 1 week, a fixed week---and not a very good trader; but it "got me into the system".
I've certainly made the most of that week---and KEEP looking for my next fixed week. I have gotten close over the last 6 years, but simply have not yet closed on the great deal.
Some of the fixed week vs. points discussions here have gotten pretty heated---so let's not go there.
I'm simply posting a question as a "newbie" to points---though I've been around for 8 years as a fixed owner.
OK, here goes:
I've seen alot of advice for points in various Points system companies. But, despite my not knowing yet which company to go with yet---let me pose my question as an interest in Fairfield (it could just as easily have been Worldmark, or another).
I've seen that points in Fairfield go for as much or more than 10 cents by developer. Advice here on TUG suggests that resales can be had for 2-4 cents.
So, let's say someone has 200,000 points for sale.
I think it must be more complicated than simply figuring what 2-4 cents would be---isn't it? In other words, it seems that buying 200,000 points at 2 cents each would be
$4000---a good buy!!! But surely there are other things to consider, right?
Maintenance fees must play an equal part as it does with Fixed weeks---correct?
Does the area (and supply/demand) play as big a role as it does with Fixed weeks??
I'm sure I'll have more questions later.
If there has been a recent thread that answers many/most of these issues; I apologize.
Thanks,
Pat
