They did. They outbid me by 25 bucks lol. I for one didn’t know enough to keep going. If there were more the market would be huge. With that being said, any truth to that 3 year deal or was that just a sales person who said it? Anyway we can verify that? That would cheapen then deal a lot!If you just bought that week 29 on eBay, you got one heck of a deal. If there were more of those, there would be an eBay market for them like there is for Grandview. Of course, regular eBay precautions apply ... just do your due diligence be sure you see estoppel, research closing company, and that kind of stuff.
I think it is a case of salespeople’s lips moving. But the Massanutten sales office recently told @tschwa2 that when these points contracts sell, they only remain in points for three years. You can find that thread here somewhere with a search. It scared me temporarily, but I am over it.

Sales lies!! Lol. Good to know, I’ll be on the lookout to play in auctions again. Just stay out this time hahah.I had seen that thread and I took it into consideration. But it does not make sense to me that it would happen just at this resort and not at any other RCI points resort. Apparently it is also not in any documents issued by the resort or by RCI so I do not believe it.
the deal is probably good but not that good when you take into account the buyer has to pay high closing fees ($700) and the current MF (while many Ebay ads include free usage).If you just bought that week 29 on eBay, you got one heck of a deal.

Idk, 178K for 950 maint fee looks pretty darn good. I think in the long run you’ll make out just fine. Not to mention with increased awareness of contract like these, more will want in. I say well done.the deal is probably good but not that good when you take into account the buyer has to pay high closing fees ($700) and the current MF (while many Ebay ads include free usage).
Its a 4 BR lock off so 178k means that each 2 BR side gets 89,000 which is high but not crazy high. Each 2 BR has a garage, a patio or deck with a higher end gas grill, large full well equipped kitchen, 2 gas fireplaces (master bedroom and living room).Sounds like a great deal. Does 178k points seem right for this resort?

The MF are actually $985 according to the ad. Not a big difference though. I assume they include all the taxes.Idk, 178K for 950 maint fee looks pretty darn good.

Did the seller reach out ? Would be interesting to see how it plays outThe MF are actually $985 according to the ad. Not a big difference though. I assume they include all the taxes.
Good question.... they look like houses so not sure unless they have two bedroom units that you can book with RCI points?since it is a 4 bdr lockoff, can I deposit just 2 bdr (one side) in RCI and keep the reservation for the other 2?
Do these come about a lot? Is there a market if I need to exit? Does someone wanna “win” the auction from me ?

You can also reserve a different week for just $50 at the same resort
With rci points if you exchange into a different week at the same resort at 12 months-11 months+1 day into rci points inventory, the exchange fee is $50. If you do it starting at 11 months or less, it is the regular points exchange fee of $209.How do you do that with a Massanutten unit in RCI points? RCI Points charges me a full points exchange fee to trade into something else at Massanutten or within the VV system. They say I have a longer reserve window, but it is not like you need that at Massanutten.
On my Massanutten RCI weeks account, I don’t see any Massanutten $50 exchange option. But I thought I was doing ok with the $159 fee for Massanutten or anything in the VV system. I want to get in on these $50 exchanges if I can.

I book Massanutten primarily with my weeks account and often with trading power boosts. I do pay the $159 booking fee. The $50 booking is only at your home resort (so Woodstone, etc), not any section, and I agree in that I rarely book that far ahead there.Interesting. Not sure I will ever use that, but good to know about it. If I book a week at Massanutten it usually is not that far out and I usually do discounted weeks at a development other than the one I own.
How is the regal vista section Incase I actually do want to go during Christmas?I book Massanutten primarily with my weeks account and often with trading power boosts. I do pay the $159 booking fee.

Regal Vistas is the nicest section. Not all the units have the best view. Even when the weather is on the warm side, they really try hard to have enough snow made for at least half the trails to be open by Christmas.How is the regal vista section Incase I actually do want to go during Christmas?
Awesome. If I ski on the east coast it’s usually update NY or Vermont so I’m sure the conditions there are the same? Or not so much?Regal Vistas is the nicest section.
