But they seemed to make sense....but they & RCI can do it.
One of the main reasons that RCI, II and the independent exchange companies disallows rentals of exchanges is that some people were actually making a profitable business out of it.
You used to see spacebanked weeks and rentals of exchanges on Ebay all the time and the exchange companies had no choice but to crack down. Those renting exchanges would snap up the most desirable weeks and rent/sell them on Ebay for a huge profit.
Ask yourself how these folks who rented out their exchanges could have gotten "the most desirable weeks". ( If their own was that good, why not rent it?) Early deposits would seem to be the logical explanation. Then you actually can pull more for your exchange and start ongoing searches for the good stuff. MD
