Just an FYI, if you see an ebay ad with week 34 on the deed for a Colorado Sheraton week, and they say it floats 48-52, 1-13, it's impossible

Some of these sellers make major mistakes in their ads. Read everything, then verify. Also, this particular seller takes more than six months to transfer, so you will be lucky to get any usage.

Is that the Sheraton Mountain Vista listing by timesharediscounts?

I noticed the same thing. Also, up front it states annual but further down in the description, the table shows Usage as Even Years and Trading Company as RCI. From what I can see in the RCI resort directory, Sheraton Mountain Vista is not in RCI, but Sheraton Lakeside Terrace is.

So the StarOption chart shows Platinum Plus season is 1-15 & 48-52. Is that the correct season? There are certain resorts where the Home Season doesn't match the VSN Season.

Ski season of course is platinum.

So perhaps it is just a typo of 13 instead of 15?
The 13 instead of 15 would be one typo, but there's also the fact that week 34 isn't in the range of 48-52 or 1-13 and wouldn't be in 1-15 either.

Seems I was concentrating on the wrong thing...

Looks like they corrected the listing. It now shows that it floats 21-39, so Gold rather than the Platinum season originally implied.
