Re: Buying Marriott Vacation Club (by Den):

We have had a great experience buying resale weeks using Redweek listings. This was in addition to buying weeks from Marriott at the outset and then buying into the points program. I haven't been very concerned about the transactions as they are handled through a closing company.

I would make sure you buy a timeshare you would use and that has good rental prospects. We've only bought Platinum weeks and always at great resorts like Newport Coast, Ocean Watch, Timber Lodge, etc. All of the 10+ resales we bought could be resold for more than we paid for them. Our developer purchases of weeks and points would suffer an extraordinary loss. You can make resales meet your needs for variety by renting and then using the rents to rent something else. Of course, Interval can also be used for exchanges.
