The VV Bonaventure is not a bad week, but this is the second most available resort in the resort infested state of Florida. You might have done better by trading into it with a low fee week. Vegas is somewhere around the verge of being overbuilt, so it is another place I wouldn't buy at. Find out the earliest date you can request a reservation and grab the highest demand week (9 & 14 are highest) you can if trading it as soon as you can, or get the week you want. The good news is that you didn't spend much on those 2 and they seem to fit into your usage plan. What fits one does not fit all.

Certainly one size does not fit all, but the two "weeks" resorts I chose fit me fine. Thanks for the advise on Vegas weeks, I plan to reserve early.

I included the costs so that others who might be new to this market might have some real data points from a buyer who's done his homework.

That prime Week 13 at Bonaventure happened to come with a couple of deposited weeks with RCI, (1 Bd, Occ 4) and (2Bd, Occ 8). I just exchanged the (1Bd, Occ 4) today for Morritt's Grand Resort - Grand Cayman #5930 (1 Bd, Occ 4) 4/5/09-4/12/09, which had an exchange value of 56,500 RCI Points, had I wanted to reserve it from my points account. So it also looks like a good trader, if I choose to go that way.
