Re: Buying Marriott Vacation Club Resale (by Carvan A.):

Buying resale is the way to go, but make sure you're getting a decent resale deal. You can save yourself a lot of money by doing so.

By buying from the developer you may get a few perks that you won't get with a resale, but those perks are not worth the amount you will pay over a resale.

Better yet, buy your resale through Marriott - Marriott sells resales for Marriott owners - and get both the benefit of a lower price as well as the benefits that Marriott offers such as banking for points in lieu of exchanging your week for another resort. Buying this way gets you priority trading power when exchanging to another Marriott resort. For example, we own a Marriott summer week and we love to ski so we have consistently exchanged our summer week for a ski week which typically sell for considerably more than a summer week. This is because a Marriott owner jumps to the head of the line for exchange purposes when you buy a resell through Marriott. We recently exchanged our week for points and went to a Hawaii Marriott during the whaling season!
