With Marriott, resale buyers only lose the ability to trade their week in for Marriott Reward Points every other (or some - every) year which at this point has very diminished value. Some poeple do use this option successfully so don't flame me....but now, MAR gives much fewer incentive points to purchase directly for most people it isn't worth the price savings.Hilton, Marriott & Hyatt have held their value so very much better than Starwood. You would have to wonder why?
Could it be the voluntary vs mandatory thing? Especially when you see that the mandatory resorts are holding their values so much better.

Westin Kierland 1 br annual can be purchased for 3500- do you think it isa good investment?
Do we know for sure if WKORV-N is mandatory or voluntary? ( as both have been reported here)
what would be a good price for VV for 81,000so? and broadway plantation red season? and sdo 2br l/o 1-52? still looking and what is the top price for each?
For a Sheraton Desert Oasis 2 bedroom LO unit worth 81,000 SO (if requalified), the prices range from $3,825 to $5,600 (average approx. $4,520).

Per info. posted on TUG, a floating SDO week purchased resale won't be worth 81K Staroptions because these weeks were sold before Starwood purchased the property and Starwood isn't assigning them as many Staroptions.
We paid just about $2K for our deluxe (larger) 1 bdm. on ebay.
I guess I can't say for SURE - but according to the sales staff at WKORV-N (this week), the North site is also mandatory.
IMHO, the Mandatory Starwood TS (like WKV) are a good deal and will become a great deal.
This is because Starwood has made the stupid business choice to make all new properties "voluntary". This will mean that anyone who find this website (and others websites like it) will learn if they don't want to pay starwood the full developer price and want their TS to hold it's resale value, they will have to find someone to sell them one of the mandatory starwood locations.
-Also the fact that starwood hides the info about mandatory vs voluntary is scummy! Do we know for sure if WKORV-N is mandatory or voluntary? ( as both have been reported here)
-The fact that last week someone posted Starwood is going to discontinue requalification can't seem to be confirmed is sad as well.
-The fact that Starwood is now selling the new sections of their mandatory resorts as voluntary resorts just adds to my bad feeling toward this company.
