Yesterday evening, I stopped in to the KFC at Whalebone Junction in Nags Head for dinner and ran into a former Bodie Island Beach Club HOA Board member and another BIBC owner who were down for the court hearings on the attempted hostile takeover of their resort by a developer. We chatted a bit about that and their expected return to testify when the hearings resume on Thursday.
Then I inquired what they were doing in timesharing with BIBC closed down until things get resolved. Both own summer weeks, which they used at the resort, and were anxious to be able to use them again. One owned a BIBC week 52 (white) for trading and the other owned at another resort for trading.
The former Board member, who could no longer trade his BIBC week 52, had joined a vacation club where he paid $299 to join and $99 a year dues and could then rent weeks for maintenace fee levels or less. He said it was all RCI weeks, and seemed to include the 45 day inventory. The other had discovered another rental site with RCI inventory.
Since these were longtime timesharers whose home resort was in limbo, I did something I would not with an non-timesharer. I let them know about Sky Auction as another rental source.
Neither of these people participate in online t/s mesage boards or subscribe to t/s publications, yet both had managed to stumble across RCI rental sites. I found that interesting.
