The real seller is the extremely happy one when Marriott exercises on a deal that contains their prepaid fees.
Selling under one set of rules but presenting another is illegal in all states I know of.I think "fraud" might be a bit of a stretch. It's a simply an "addendum" added to the contract. Whether Marriott sees the contracts addendum, or not, i'm not exactly sure. i can't wrap my thoughts around "unethical" either. If the broker wishes to make a donation, out of the funds it has obviously secured from the original owner, whilst acting as a liaison between the new buyer and Marriott, in order to make the purchase happen, i see nothing wrong with it. In fact, it ends up being a win win win, the broker gets his profit, Marriott gets their money for the points with the added security of collecting MF's again every year on something that may have been in foreclosure? and the new buyer gets what they want at a deeply discounted price....what am i missing?
Just starting a weeks purchase through Redweek for two Marriott Waiohai weeks.
These are the cheapest I've ever seen ($5500 per week, ANNUAL usage, Mountain View).
This is what EOY usage has been going for recently.
ROFR database unfortunately has very little recent activity to indicate whether this may pass or fail.
Frankly, I'll be surprised if this passes. Wish me luck.
Please add your details to www.rofr.net.Just failed ROFR for Gold Week Harbour Lake in Orlando :-( We found a desperate seller on ebay for $1 with 2017 MF already paid but not used yet for Gold Season. This gave us a chance for a free vacation to use for Thanksgiving week or maybe Labor Day.
ROFR letter showed $350 or so (all my closing costs) as the sales price. Broker thought if I had paid for 2017 MF and let the seller book my week prior to submitting it might have went in. The free week is what enticed us.
Oh well, gonna keep looking for deals at Harbour Lake and/or Grand Vista with a lock off!
I added my Harbour lake one to ROFR.I received notice today that my Grande Vista, 2 bed, platinum, failed at $1,600. I added it to the rofr.net
Yeah, this guy on Ebay (Clem) has them for $2000 and won't budge. Says that's what is needed for MGV Plat 2 Bed. I offered him $1500 but was declined. I won his Harbour Lake for $1, Gold with free 2017 usage but MVCI took it back (see above). Trying another Harbour lake, this time Plat with no 2017 usage for $375. Let's see what happens. (different company this time too).I had another Grande Vista 2 bedroom and platinum fail ROFR this time at $1,700.

Can I ask why? Just for trading power or you love that resort? I like GV as well but with me going throughout the year and not needing out of school season weeks, its maybe $100 savings on a 2 bed rental vs the MF you pay.I don't blame him for not budging below $2k. I will buy an unlimited number of 2BR Platinum GV units for $2k (from buyers I am comfortable with). I even stretch to $2,400 on occasion.

I'm looking at getting a 3BR just for trading power and doing a bunch of smaller trips and then having the 3bedroom for later in life as our family grows.
Dioxide,Just an FYI for anyone using www.rofr.net to search or add Marriott ROFR entries. We have added Hilton and Disney to the website. So you will first have to select which company you are searching for or adding an entry to when you search or start to add a new entry.
Great price - good luck!!!I have a Maui annual 2BD/3BTH OV pending for my all-in price of $13,150. I'm hopeful it will pass.
I just went in and added my DVC that failed ROFR back in March - I was the seller and Disney bought it from the buyer. Thanks for putting those up.Just an FYI for anyone using www.rofr.net to search or add Marriott ROFR entries. We have added Hilton and Disney to the website.
