It appears that we can buy a high end timeshare for 4-6K for a 3 bedroom, ton of points. I can't imagine this could be a failure. Could it?
lisa, i'm not familiar with points so I can't comment on that issue, but you have to remember that if the deal of 4-6K on a 3 bedroom high end timeshare with a ton of points is what you're looking for then I see no reason not to buy it. 4-6K seems a very good deal for a high end, 3 bedroom timeshare, depending on season bought.
It's all in what the buyer is looking for. There are many people that know about resales, but they buy from the developer anyway to get the extra perks/points. The money spent is not an issue to them.
Resales are for people looking for a deal to save them money.
