BTW, the company I bought from sellingtimeguys really is a company called Timeshare Rescue. I don't know for sure-- but is this a postcard company?

Yes they are a PCC.


The fact that this TS was sold by a PCC, just show how badly the owners wanted to get rid of this week. They likely paid the PCC $3000 to take title of this TS, not knowing that the PCC would likely be able to sell it for well over $14,000!! That's a $17,000 swing in the PCC favor!!

I'm still not sure how to do that since they are all in different places. Don't they have to be in the same resort to reserve at 13 months. I always reserve early for the three Manor Clubs though..

As long as you are booking consecutive or concurrent weeks at any resort, you can book at the 13 month mark.
The way the weeks fall for Plat MMC and NCV, you should be able to book NCV July 4th week at the 13 month +3 week mark. Book all three of your MMC weeks prior to the July 4th week and then make the NCV week the 4th week.

Thanksgiving 2009 would be a great week as a trader. You'll be able to reserve that yourself.

Is Thanksgiving Platinum? I used to own at Summit Watch and Mountainside and Thanksgiving was silver.

In your example if I make the NCV July 4th can I make all the MMCs July 4th as well. Then I can put them all into II for trading. I use my Manor Club weeks for trading into the MFVs. I want to trade NCV for HI for 2010. I know I won't get it for 2009 now.
 
Marylyn- You can request all 4 weeks for the 4th of July week- BUT- keep in mind that you would only be able to call at the 13 month mark in that case, not at the 13 month + 3 week mark as suggested by dioxide. You could call at the 13 month mark, though, and reserve all 4 weeks.

Alternately, you could consider reserving the week before the 4th for one of the weeks, which would let you call at the 13 month + 1 week mark, reserving on Manor Club week for then and, at the same time, reserving the other 3 weeks for the 4th, which would enable you to secure 3 holiday weeks. If you really wanted, at the 12 month mark you could call back and try to change the week before for the holiday week, for a $29 change of reservation fee.

Make sure to get separate reservation numbers, of course.

I just remembered something, though- isn't the week of the 4th sold a a Plat. Plus week at NCV? I thought I remembered reading about that in another thread, in which case you couldn't book it. I'm not sure about that, though, so others will have to chime in.

Yes, July 4th week is Platinum PLUS season. That's the one I'm considering buying resale (in the future)!

Since 4th of July is Plat Plus at NCV. What's a good strategy? Book the week before July 4th, two weeks on July 4th using Manor Clubs and then book the week after July 4th at NCV at 13+3? Does that sound correct? Do NCV Platinum get ACs on II? I am still waiting for MMC and MSE ACs to come out. I hope they do soon. I have three 4th of July weeks reserved for 2009 and I am waiting to exchange them for the Fairways as soon as I can. I just don't want to miss out on the ACs!!

I missed that NCV has July 4th as Platinum Plus. So you won't be able to book that. When I suggest booking at 13 months + 3 weeks I beleive people can and do this. If you want to book the month of July, can call at the begining of June the year prior and book all four weeks consecutivly?
 
I think you are a little confused wrt the 13 month rule. If you are booking consecutive or contiguous weeks you can book them starting 13 months before the first check in date of the first week you want to book. Even if you are booking 3 weeks together (for the same week), you can only call 13 months in advance, not 13 months + 3 weeks. The 3 weeks mentioned in the earlier post were if you booked the first week 3 weeks ahead of the later weeks.

Yes I was confused alright. I can call at 13 months ONLY if I reserve four weeks consecutively OR four weeks concurrently. I am just reiterating a little bit here.

At 13 months:
In my example, considering NCV's Platinum Plus July 4th week, I could reserve July 4th for my three Manor Club weeks at 13 months, and at the same time, I can book July 11th at the NCV. RIGHT?

Or I can reserve at 13+3

June 20-27, June 27 -July 4, July 4- July 11 at the Manor Club and then July 11-18 at NCV. RIGHT?

How about this at 13+2

June 20-27 at MMC and then two Manor Club weeks for July 4 and then the NCV for July 11-18? Is that right. Can I do that?

Marylyn- yes- actually, that last combo is what I was suggesting, since it would still give you a strong MMC week and a week up on others requesting the holiday week 13 months out.

Make sure to remember it is, in the case above 13 months + 1 week in advance of the first reservation date for the weekend you want (so even if you want Sat. to Sat. or Sun. to Sun., you still make the reservations the same day as those wanting Fri.-Fri.).

What I was pointing out is if you owned 1 week at NCV and 3 at MMC. You could book week 27 at MMC at 13 months plus 3 weeks by booking week 24 at NVC and weeks 25, 26, and 27 at MMC. If you own MSE you could lock off each MSE week and book much earlier. You have to book consecutive weeks.

You are correct in that if you are booking concurrent weeks, you can only call at the 13 month mark.

However you can book the three July 4th (week 27) weeks at MMC at the 13 month + 1 week by booking week 26 at NCV and the three MMC weeks for week 27. This would be the best strategy for the OP if they are looking to exchange all of their weeks.

2009 weeks were used for these examples, so that booking window has passed.

Dioxide- sorry- that was actually directed to Marylyn- you were, of course, right, but I think she initially interpreted it to mean that even if she was booking all the weeks contiguously she could still book at 13 months+ 3, even though you were referring to weeks booked consecutively.
 
I think the poster is asking, "Closed", as in did it pass ROFR, is the sale final for ICYDOG for the Platinum NCV?:)
 
Yes, I would like to know how good to do business with sellingtimeguys when the deal is big.
 
Congrats, Marylyn. What a great deal! I'm looking at buying a NCV plat or maybe gold. But so far I've just been watching on E-bay to see what the prices are doing. Unfortunately we're tied to the school year vacations, so we don't have the freedom to travel off-season. We'll be at NCV Dec 26. so I'll check it out for you!:D It looks like a beautiful property.

Nope no contract yet..Since July!!!

Still waiting...and waiting... and waiting.... The Selling Timeshare Guys are stringing me along.

My daughter intervened andI thought we were making some progress... but still no contract... They said they found it and would be sending it out to Orange County for filing and that was two weeks ago.. and still no contract!! and still no contract!! and still no contract!!

I'll let you know. This has become a white elephant. It hasn't closed, I still don't officially own it, but it has already gone down substantially in value. Platinum Marriott Newport Coast weeks were selling on ebay for 30-40% less than I paid. And I still don't own it!! :mad:

why does it take so long? Did you paid for it yet? Is the Selling Timeshare Guys legit? Should we trust him with high ticket TS dealing?

Thanks
 
I presume you meant "recorded deed", not "contract"? Very tough situation. It seems they may have sold you a week they don't have and are trying to get it.

It will take at least 2 months to be recognized as an owner once deed records and they get EVERYTHING to Marriott. http://tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84198

I would try to get $$ back ASAP.
 
I hate to slam anyone but make up your own mind
1. I bought the timeshare in July
2. I paid on time and closed in August
3. The Timeshare Guys told me they sent the deed to Orange County at the end of August and that Orange County Recorder was too busy to record it
4. Waited over 10 weeks then when I confronted them with Orange County on the phone they said that OC had lost the Deed
4. Orange County said they got it and said the agent was wrong,, they don't lose things. They returned it to Timeshare Guys three days after receiving it in Sept because of a discrepancy.
5. Timeshare Guys then claimed it was lost in the mail for 10 weeks
6. When my daughter called Timeshare Guys they said they found the deed and would resubmit it to Orange County.
7 Orange County record deeds in two days
8. I haven't heard from them and its been another month


You make your own decisions. Is this something you want to subject yourself to. Don't you want to pay someone..to Close the contract.. Get the deed recorded.. Get it submitted to Marriott and then don't you want to, perhaps, ...Use it?? If you want all these things, all things a closing company should do,.... then this is the wrong company for you..

So, as I said, I sit and wait...

Yah, Right..They won't give it back. My problem isn't with Marriott it is with the Closing Company. If it sits on a Marriott desk so be it. I just want a recorded deed...

He is the seller and closing company too. The question is should we buy a high ticket timeshare from him again? thanks
