if you own a fixed week at a Wyndham resort you can convert it to points, at about $2300 for the first week and $900 for other weeks you might fo at the same time
Last year at about this time I purchased three fixed weeks that had already been converted to points All 385k 2011 points transferred to my account.
The purchase price was $1, which as you suggest added to the value (I wouldnt have bought the package if it hadnt already been converted)
The Wyndham salesman was lying to you to try scare you away from resale and have you buy retail from him
