First off, thank you all so much! I bought a 2BR 5K gold week from HGVC last Thursday. I came across this site, because I wanted to see how easy it was to convert to RCI points. Seeing all the rescind advice, we had the letter in certified mail monday am! A few questions.
1)We liked the HGVC point system and not having it be locked in to certain weeks. We have famliy that have long held a Marriott property. Do they offer a similar option? If not, we will stick to the easy of use of the HGVC.
2) Most importantly, what are reputable and recommended sites for HGVC resales? Not doing this in front of someone will take some trust. I signed up for this site's marketplace, in addition to redweek. Am I missing any?
3) I think I saw a ROFR.net site on here. Is there a pt/$ threshold hilton will typically exercise ROFR?
4) Given this is a long haul purchase i think well save most money starting off with lowest maintenance fees. Is it true Las Vegas typically has the lowest fees?
5) Once a seller approves a bid, how long does the process take?
Anything I am missing? I really want ease of use, low fees, 2 bedroom resale probably from HGVC. Im thinking it will take around 5K, to both get an offer approved and through the ROFR. Should I aim lower? I dont want to rush again(I am still so mad we bought initially direct). I really dont want to use Ebay, or craigslist. Any recommended trusted sites would be great.
Again thank you all so much, I dont want to jinx it, but we followed the instructions and should be fully out soon. You all probably saved me upwards of 20K!
