For those that are leery or unaware of how easy it is to rent your prime Marriott week, please look into Redweek and try it out. It has worked every time for me, and I've never gotten a shady person yet. Its a great way to get a good return on your initial investment, if you can't use your week.
I bought a 2nd Maui week because I wanted to assure me Pres week every year, but being able to rent is what lead me to the other weeks I purchased. And Redweek comes through every time.
I think this might be useful infor to someone who is hedging about buying another week. If you buy 2 high demand weeks, you can rent one every year to offset your cost significantly, and get the prime weeks that everyone covets with the 13 month rule.
I'm not trying to give RW free advertising, just provide TUGGERS with sage advice from someone who has tried them all. I think its $20 for yearly membership and $20 for 6 month ad. I put my ads up at 7 months from check-in and almost immediately people start "kicking the tires".
I have found that from 12 to 7 months the bargain hunters are out. At 7 months the masses come out and deals are made. If you are patience and reject low offers, you will get your asking price.
I've rented 4 of my weeks in the last month through RW, my 2 Maui and 2 GO, all at the asking price. One of the renters was sellmytimeshare.com for one of their clients, so even the rental brokers check out RW.
I really thought in 2009, we would see a real reduction in rental fees, but so far I have not seen that to be the case. In fact I've seen the best numbers ever this year.
Regards.
Joe
