If two Wyndham owners are trying to book a room,
does the owner who bought their program from the developer,
have more availability than someone who purchased their program on the resale market?

EVERYTHING else is identical.

The sales manager at the resort says there is a difference,
I don't think so.

The only difference in availability is the ability to book WorldMark resorts via Club Pass (which can only be done with developer)

Other than that (i.e. with Club Wyndham Resorts) it's the exact same availability

Another minor difference could be availability in the VIP RARP (10-11 month) window for resorts not owned. It wouldn’t be a significant enough difference to care about unless you have very specific high demand desires, given typical reservation patterns.
