RedWeek.com May E-mail Newsletter Q&A: Second Market Timeshare Owners 'Caught' By RCI (by Luigi K.):
You might notice that when you join Interval or RCI or list a new ownership, the question is asked: Did you buy from the Developer or on the Secondary Market? Why do you think that is? It's because the exchange companies have a valuable relationship with the resort Developers and need to protect that relationship. If you don't get the same "exchange power" with a resale as the original owner did, hmmm . . . I wonder why?
