Re: BUYING DEVELOPER vs RESALE (typical scenario)

I would have to disagree with the broad statement that there is no "catch" to buying resale. It all depends on why you are buying. If you need additional ownership in your existing timeshare group to reach useful VIP benefit levels, for example, you may find that resale purchases do not count. In the Bluegreen group, you can buy through their own resale branch, Pinnacle, and get all benefits, but other resale purchases do not count. Other companies have other rules. Resellers often do not appear to pass along all the materials, books, and information which they received. Without these, a buyer who is not already familiar with that company may flounder around, not really knowing how to utilize the purchase. We often see questions on Boards like this one that can only be answered accurately by referring to the materials supplied by your own company. The rest is speculation. MD
