Looking to purchase HGVC after presentation [merged]

[Ron98GT]

I see multiple listings on eBay right now for 3400 points where there is either no bid, or the current bid is considerably less than 1000.

Some people may not be that motivated and have a high reserve, but the listings are out there

Like this one for $102:

I ended up purchasing one but with all the the fees plus the ability to use it this year it came out to 3100. Had to pay for maintenance fees for 2015. I probably could've gotten it for cheaper but for sure I know it's cheaper than buying retail. Thanks everyone for the great advice! I love this site!

I forgot to mention that I paid that price for use every year rather than every other year.

Now if I wanted to get more points later, is that a pain to do?

Yes. Another purchase cost. More closings costs. Another MF.

Shoots... Should've just paid a little more for 5000 points one. Oh well, I'll just have to enjoy what I have

That's not what the ending price will be. I'm sure people will start bidding on it and it will sky rocket. That's what I was seeing when I started looking. People where paying 1400 + for 3400 points EOY.

It's very easy. You'll just pay more as mentioned above. You'll have 2 MFs instead of one, but future purchase will be combined with your current account. The exception is if you buy an affiliate. You'll have different accounts, but you can transfer points into the main account.

Hilton doesn't have an option for transferring points to other members. That is really too bad because I think every other points system allows that.

I got into HGVC Elite via the old times when resale could have it. Wouldn't pay retail for it by no means. The only real benefit I've seen is some places give out free breakfast to Elite members, e.g. some in Vegas and some in Hawaii. But I feel cheated as I didn't get a free calendar this year, like presley did!

Did you ever get a free breakfast at HGVC? I get free breakfast at the hotels, but not the timeshares. It's been an hhonors elite benefit and not a HGVC elite benefit, which is easily attainable by having one of their credit cards.
