[Need info. about private exchanges]

Great, just posted up an ad in the exchange section. Didn't even realize there was this area on Tug.
Anytime while I do think it is super cool the site has a free exchange network I think in some instances I would avoid it.
For example I own a unit that gets me 92 TPUs annually with RCI.
More times often than not I know I will get a low one for one offer on the exchange section as far as offers go.
Obviously this is just my opinion again I am not complaining and glad this is offered on the site.

There are times when RCI works well, and they are times when a private exchange works better.
For instance, if (like the OP) you have a desirable timeshare to trade, and the timeshare that you want to trade into never gets deposited in RCI - a private exchange is likely to be more successful.
If however, you have a timeshare worth a lot of points, and you want to use it for exchanges into resorts that are plentiful on RCI, then RCI is the way to go.

May I ask which unit gets that many TPUs annually? I have deposired my SDO into RCI and have traded for HGVC Kingsland but I only got less than half the number of tpu for my 2br SDO.
