Legacy HRC (= 'HVC'), ? worth buying as resale now with increases in MFs & II devaluations ?

[mountainboy]

With the significant 20+% increase in MFs in last 2 years & significant devaluation in II trades, is it worth buying a Legacy HRC/HVC resale now?
Asking Pro HRC/HVC tuggers @SteveinHNL , @TUGBrian , @echino , @ScoopKona , @Kal , @mjm1 , @WalnutBaron & others.
Thx a mill!

1. Increase in MFs was not 20% in 2 years (that is overstated). Increase in my units was somewhat comparable to nationwide inflation. Hotel prices are up too.
2.No change in internal (club) exchange valuations. Same value there as before.
3.II still a good value. Before it was a better value.

saw many folks report 20+% increases in last 2 years in MF thread for HVC, hence the ask...
Glad still see value there...
What's with Aspen & Escala Lodge (Park City) both being effectively out from HRC?
Cuts back the footprint even further :-(....

We own at Pinon Pointe and continue to believe it offers a great value. We mostly stay at the resort or trade within the Hyatt resort system rather than trading in II. II isn’t as great of a value as it used to be, but it’s still good.

I got three weeks on my single maintenance fee this year. I expect this will be normal going forward. This wasn't a normal year for us in that we completed our massive move to Hawaii. Next year, I hope to go back to business as usual.

Great to hear!
Looks like Park city is out (even though present at old points chart posted at TUG as a sticky)... Also Aspen seems out & Breck has significantly decreased number of HVC units (& sold many to others). HKB is hard to trade into. Leaves a fairly tight footprint to trade internally, right? What kind of internal trades are folks getting?
Also newbie Q: if one buys a trader at HYN for lower MF like both of you, when can you put an internal HVC/HRC trade request (or find anything on website) for trading into? (? start of HRPP or only at start of CUP)?
Is HRPP only for booking into home resort or into any of the HVC/HRC (legacy) club resorts?
TY!

I did an internal trade into Aspen for the upcoming ski season. Six nights in a one bedroom unit in February. 870 points.

There are good ways to use points. It’s a little harder internally these days. II seems to be a lot harder. I’m reserving judgment until 2026 regarding II as I have several ongoing requests for ski locations.

Park City never was available for booking.

Think of HRPP as CUP. The points can be used anywhere once they are available one year before your week.

What would be a good purchase price for a HNP Platinum 2k points Resale?
