Public vs Private

[matt0o]

I have another thread going on other questions I have been asking and getting good information. however, I had a question a ways off topic from my other thread so thought I would make a new one for this question.

About 6-12 months ago, around the time I bought my ownership into Bluegreen, we bought our points at a price of 2.00 per point. one of the things told to us by sales reps was that with the company going public the point price was going up and the last I heard it was at 3.75 per point. Not that I have an intention of buying from a developer again, but out of curiosity, will they retain the point price or lower it due to going back to private?

The retail price of points has no relationship to whether the company is publicly traded on the stock exchange.

A very common tactic of timeshare sales is to focus on some kind of future change that is said to be in the works. Then to use that change (whether it is real or not) to create a sense of urgency to buy points today. The price of points is set by market demand; that is, what a collection of buyers are willing to pay. This is a complicated determination, but it has nothing to do with equity markets and Wall Street.
