Sorry if this is a repeat!

Sent to me from Premier Timeshare Resale:

As the Covid-19 virus has swept the globe, there is barely a segment of the population that is unaffected. Whether it is due to school closures, flight cancellations, stay in place orders or the illness itself, we are all feeling the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

The big resort developers are not immune. Marriott and Westgate are among those seeing high cancellation rates and even closures among their properties. We expect these developers to start issuing more waivers of their Right of First Refusal rather than exercising their right to step in as the buyer. What does that mean for you?

If you have been dreaming about a particular timeshare ownership, this is the time to buy! If you want to sell – you should update, renew or activate your listing with us to take advantage of this unprecedented market.

In particular, if you own a Platinum or Fixed Usage week at Marriott's MountainSide or Summit Watch, we want to hear from you! The demand for these weeks is high and there are buyers waiting to make an offer if we can get the inventory.

As we mentioned in our email earlier this week, our hearts go out to all those affected by Covid-19. Our commitment to you is unchanged in this stressful time, please contact us if we can assist with your timeshare needs, whether buying or selling.

Just another creative salesperson trying to drum up business in the downturn/uncertainty. Don't do it, if they charge an upfront fee!!

This does not help sellers. The fear (rational or otherwise) of not clearing ROFR inflates prices. As a potential buyer, I am thinking I may be able to steal a Marriott Platinum GV or GC.

Its a buyers market, not a sellers.

Thanks. You're probably right! I'm not in the market, just thought I'd pass it along.

I don't really need any more TS, but if something comes across my radar: snap.
