The entries for Points Resorts in the RCI directory will break down the points for size and week. There is a chart used to convert Weeks Resorts to Points. For example a 2-bedroom Red Week in New Hampshire is 42,000 points. My assumption (though it may be wrong) is that if I deposit my NH Red week and want a 2-bedroom in prime location at a prime time, I won't get it. Since I own at a Points Resort, I can convert my NH week and add the 42,000 points to my account. In this manner I see exactly what I am getting.Great explanation Carries! Trading power is all about supply and demand.carries25 wrote:I am a TS moron, so I will explain how I see this concept. RCI uses your unit as a bargaining chip. If everyone wants it, they will be happy to trade it for the unit you seek. If few people want it, it is hard to use as a trade.For example, if you offer a diamond and want to trade for an amethyst, they should have no trouble making the trade. On the other hand, if you have an amethyst, it may not be easy to find someone willing to trade their diamond for it. Thus, if you buy a gemstone looking to trade, it may be better to buy a diamond than an amethyst.
However, there are always morons like me who like amethysts more than diamonds.
How'm I doin'? Anyone care to educate me?
