Here is a question I have not seen asked or answered. We currently own GM and are pretty happy with it. We have not tried renting, but we are not surprised to hear the lack of confidence in that endeavor. Here is my question... There are many places (ebay, timeshares only, etc.) where you can find Mayan properties for sale. Some you can get quite cheap (i.e. ebay= 2bdrm annual GM for under $5K). My question is, as an owner who is indeed interested in upgrading often to eventually get to Grand Luxxe or villas in retirement, would getting some of these "extra" weeks from the internet actually increase my trade in value when it comes to upgading? It would seem to me that it would, because the last time we upgraded, they gave us a price for what we currently owned and showed what the price would have been if we owned more. Thus, if I have an extra week in the GM then I have more equity to trade up. Anyone have an opinion or know how that would work? Thanks
