What is the best resale contract you purchased or wish you had?

[dude-luv]

I purchased a Cliff's Resort (Kauai) loft unit for $1 and a Powell Place studio unit for $2.50.

Bought 280k annual Sheraton Flex "options" for $3,400. Full usage, so can convert to all Vistana (and Sheraton) resorts, as well as convert options to points - every other year - with Marriott.

we got an Eagle Crest (Oregon) floating red week, plus 10 years RCI, plus 2 banked weeks, and 2 years pre-paid maintenance fees for $1. Sold it for $5, kept the extras.

Nice purchase! Not many people can say they sold their timeshare for 5X the amount they paid for it.

Back in 2012 we bought a resale 1,242,000 point National Harbor UDI contract for under a penny a point all in.
Lowest MFs that we've seen in Wyndham, and convenient for Smithsonian and other D.C attractions. Maryland Real Estate law is horrific - it took MONTHS to close.

Wow, that is a great deal. I love Eagle Crest. How long ago was this?

Olympic Village Inn winter ski weeks are still being given away for free!

Yes, considering this one but search didn't turn up much info on this resort except that it is rather dated. Would like to know how reservations work before I "buy" a free week.

New to Wyndham.

Bought 105k CWA for $550 all in on eBay (purchase price $550 / seller paid all other fees)

Yes, I know it’s not a $1.50 buy and yes, I know not a monster amount of points... but it came with 250k rolled over Wyndham Points and so I figure the previous seller paid 2.4 years of MF to accrue that. So there is value there.

I picked up a Westin Kierland Villas I bedroom Premium unit week 12, Spring Training week (81,000 options) EOY for $2500 3 years ago. i use it to trade foe the Westin Kannapali Resort Villas North. Being my 3rd Westin unit there is no Club Fee and the maintenance fee is low.

I thought Wyndham didn’t move rolled over or bonus points to the new resale buyer’s account: from either the old credit pool or the current or future use years. I thought they only moved the remaining unused points up to the purchased annual or EOY contract amount, so I learned something new. Definitely a plus for you.

The best purchase was my first..... 3 converted fixed weeks at the New Bern NC resort. 385000 points. I paid $1 plus $750 closing costs. MF was high but for some reason it came with Silver VIP. Working with that contract and that broker is how I learned how this stuff worked. That first $751 was the only real money I spent on timeshares. Everything else was re invested rental income. That contract was the beginning of a pretty good 6 year run

The best money i ever spent with timeshares was the $15 I paid for a TUG membership.

It was a Tugger that told me how to get a cheap platinum account, And another tugger that helped me (or I helped him) figure out how to get "free" platinum accounts.
I found my first New Orleans week (with fees paid and a Mardi Gras reservation) in the TUG classifieds.
I was alerted to a 700000 point La Belle Maison contract offered for $1000 on RedWeek, by a Tugger.
Another Tugger and I made a deal with a postcard company. (I made the contact, he maid the deal) I got all their Wyndham stuff for free, and he got all of another system

I bought a 77k GD for $1 in August with Jan use year. This transferred in December, so I got current use year points. When Jan came around, the points replenished. So I pretty much got the previous year usage for 1 month MF.
