A new Ebay auction today that will be a serious score for someone who wants a killer deal:

2br oceanfront unit at Kauai Beach Villas, Even years usage, starting with 2012. Seller pays closing and transfer fees. All Buyer pays is the auction price plus a "convenience fee" for using the 2012 week. (Not sure exactly what that is...) If the numbers are right, this could be a great deal for someone who wants 2 bedrooms oceanfront at KBV.

Ad says oceanview... I do not know this property, so I do not know how much that changes the value of this unit.

The determining factor is actually the unit number which is advertised as: Deeded as Oceanview Unit G13/Week 31, but of course do your due diligence.

Location is everything. There are two view types for 2 br units at KBV -- either Lagoon View or Oceanview. An oceanview 2br in G building makes it oceanfront. The buyer of this interval will have a very nice location at this resort.

So its definitely one of those front buildings pictured? Is there AC in these units?

This looks very nice. So what will this go for?

It is a floating - not fixed, ocean front week.

You failed to mention that the seller is paying the m/f's ($1365) for 2012 - it's not very often you see that!

But they are charging $999 for the transfer.

So is it definitely one of those front buildings pictured? Or is it possible to be placed somewhere else?

It is a deeded "floating" ocean view week. That means that you have a right to reserve an ocean view unit, as long as you call and make the Resv. in a timely manner.

Owning G13 means you'll be put in either F, G, or H building. But as Denise says, if you plan ahead and make your reservation request far enough ahead, you can ask for G or H building, and maximize your vacation experience.

This picture shows the building placement at the resort. As you can see, G building is right on the beach.

Yes I know- but the OP stated that already- he didn't mention the pass on the mf's!

Yes, but $999 is excessive for a transfer fee - and the OP didn't state the amount.

I know we're getting into semantics, but its not being advertised as a transfer fee.

"$999 convenience charge in exchange for the 2012 usage."

So you're essentially renting the 2012 usage for $999 (instead of what your normal MF of $1365), with no fees to transfer or close.

Or you're paying $999 to transfer/close the property and getting the usage for free. :)

Like I said...semantics.

Disclaimer: I dont know what this property typically goes for nor its transfer fees, so if its not uncommon to find KBV with current year usage for free and low transfer/closing costs, then yeah this would be high. :)

So then if the Buyer doesn't WANT the 2012 week, I wonder if they can forego that part, and not have to pay this "convenience fee." (And as I said in the OP, I don't know what that is. I do know it's not part of a standard purchase at this resort.) That would mean the only thing the Buyer pays is the auction price.

Dave, rambling

I would bet a mai tai that the "convenience fee" goes in the resale company's pocket (after the real transfer costs) so they are not going to be willing to forego it.

See that little bitty building C in the distance? That was what we got as exchangers last September. :p No worries, we still had a great time, but would have preferred a G or H of course. At least we were close to the pool. We enjoyed having it nearby as well as the hot tub.

So no other pools. That one seems inadequate for the resort? Also how is the beach in front of the resort?

The Aqua hotel on the same property has fabulous pools, and the TS guests have unlimited free access. What Muranjo is saying, is that they had a view of the TS pool - they were exchangers.

This looks like an amazing resort. Do you know if there is an issue with renting owner weeks? Do they allow you to select a nice unit and then rent?

It's not a good rental. It is not well-known as a resort, and it's difficult to even cover your MF.
