EDIT: I posted this under buying and selling first and am moving it here on advice of a member because it completely makes more sense!
I've already spent over an hour wading through posts and searching to look for this answer so if it has been asked and answered previously, my apologies. I own two weeks that are enrolled and a friend is no longer timesharing after her husband died and sold her Newport week and was offered $2000 by Marriott for her 1000 extra points. She's asked me if I would like to purchase them and I am actually interested in adding that to what I have, however, I CANNOT get a response from anyone at Marriott to ask questions and it's my understanding that there may be a transfer fee in the amount of $3 per point. As I am already enrolled, does that fee still hold, and are there other fees that would apply to me that I need to expect? I guess last question is since she already got an offer from Marriott, if I offer $2500 will they counter-offer that with a new higher price?
It is also my understanding that trust points MF currently are .604/point. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks so much for any help with this. I was sent the external transfer form, but no point moving forward if its going to cost a lot more than what I want to put down.
