Wow, if you purchase new points you will take a bath selling them. In order fot a third party purchaser of points to actually use what they just purchased they have to pay Marriott the following fees: 50 for general transfer, 300 for education, 2000 for initiation, and 200 for each 250 points being purshases. Thus, the cost to the new buyer of 3000 points on the open market is as follows: 50 300 2000 2400 (3000 points / 250 x 200) 4750 Total Thus, the new buyer must pay you at least 4750 less then he can purchase the points directly from Marriott. The practical implications of this is Marriott lots of money, you get screwed. For someone to purchase something from you and then have to pay the above fees to use what they just purchased is morally wrong. \ Ok you bloggers, check it and and report.
