[Q=luigik] 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?[/Q] It's because they are trying to cheat the original owner out of his resale value so they don't have the competition. You should consider that when you buy from them and realize they will eventually try to deplete your resale value. Take that into account when you buy so you don't get hurt. Realize the only reason they would do this is to cheat you and act accordingly when you buy.
