I am looking for another timeshare and saw a fixed week 2 br lockoff that gets 72 TPU's when combined. MF about $900. This seems like a great deal for "traders". I am looking for personal use (at this point). The reviews werent the greatest so I am going to pass. But It might be a great trader for someone. Is this a good deal? Its on the east coast 1 block from beach summer week!

It is indeed a good deal at about $12.50 MF/TPU. Based on what you mentioned about wanting to use it yourself, I believe that you did the right thing by walking away: Buy if you are going to use it yourself most of the time, and use RCI as an outlet only.
You just never know when RCI will change the rules on us in mid stream...

I thought the general belief was that a 'tiger trader' was about $10 per TPU?

I looked into the Atrium myself and the numbers reported are correct. The reviews are not that great, but supposedly they already had a special assessment and a lot of improvements were made.
We decided to pass just because we could not see ourselves using it since we like to be on the beach. Also considered it as a possible rental property. The units do not have full kitchens though. The only reason we didn't follow through was because we decided to go in a different direction...you know the deal...so many timeshares out there, so little time....

If the maintenance fees were under $800 this would be a good deal.
Take a look at the reviews on trip advisor , the latest reviews are 5 Circles. Someone mentioned in a previous thread that the management company was fishing for compliments.
I think the owners know they get high tpu's so they can charge the high maintenance fees.

About a month or so ago, there were 4 of them circling ebay, varying between weeks 27, 29, 31 and 32. It was interesting watching them go from buyer pay closing costs and 2012 maintenance fees, to buyer pay only 2012 maintenance fees or buyer pay just closing costs. Not sure if these are the same ones, but if it is something you want, it appears that there are deals out there. Plus remember, if you are extremely patient and can wait until Nov/Dec when the holidays and new maintenance fees bills hit....who knows what can happen.
