Plus for an even year contract now one is likely to be paying extra on fees. If one got this years week and paid this years fees and next you'd be paying for the full fee for a reduced function week. If one did not get this years week you'd be paying for half of this years fees in Jan since MVC charges those half the year of the week and half the next year. I think the idea situation is buying an EOY week during the end of the year one gets the week not paying the fees due coming up or early in teh following year after fees have been paid. That way you don't pay the extra half years fees AND have a chance to get it in the system and get a great week to trade with full lead time to deposit. Obviously it comes down to the overall costs of purchase price, closing and the fees so one has to look at it globally.
It doesn't hurt to ask and confirm on an EOY contract on Ebay when the first year of maintenance fee is due. I recently purchased a MGV EVEN EOY with a high bid, I only placed a 1k+ bid because it was confirmed the seller would pay the 2025 bill as well.

That's actually the neutral situation but since most would end up paying the 2025 fees as an additional, you're better off than most. But that assumes they come through, we've seen several instances lately where the week was gone but the seller still on the hook for the dues though in some of those instances the seller did rectify the situation.

Yes, I am lucky everything seems to be in order. Received an email from the closing agent that they are sending a payment of 995.25 and if the 2025 Maintenace fee is higher send them the invoice and they will send the additional payment.
