Kekouri;

Kathy: Sorry....it was Summit Watch 2 bed 2 bath lock outs Marriott is (was) selling...Bronze Weeks for $1500. Thats not the good trader

No trade back for points was listed ( usually weaker weeks might get 75,000 points. Was noted through spring 07:

$835.24 for Maint & Taxes including everything except ARDA fee of $5.

$1500 is all in cost. $500 for the timeshare and $1000 for closing from Marriott.

$75 split fee. $89 Marriott to marriott exchange fee. (The lock out cost and the exchange fee.

Boca on tug reported he revieved 2 back to back weeks for this unit in a Marriott Hawaii T/S during flextime exchange on II

Marriott, at one time had a great resale program. (Even price wise) You didn't get points for purchase ( yes, we recieved 250,000* points on a developer purchased week.....), but the resale cost was much lower than developer. They now simply recycle old units back into their inventory ( Actually, who ever stayed in a brand new first week of use unit? Almost impossible)

The resale program was based on HHI....and many of the Marriott T/Ss sold are no longer Marriott.

* Best point deal on a developer week I ever saw was when they sold out the Manor Club (old section) Tugger owners weree able to get up to 700,000 points combining all the programs.

Current best price deal on a Marriott sold week is probably the Bronze lock outs at Steamside= If any still left...$1500 includes closing & all fees....but probably a terrible trader.

I also think Marriott is one of the best systems to go with, even without points.

As an fyi, I was surfing around on the Internet recently and happened to note some very, very cheap weeks at for sale Streamside. However, there was a caveat noted in the ad - the building is no longer a Marriott property! I don't know if that goes for the entire resort, but apparently for one building anyway. So, anyone looking into a cheap week at Streamside also interested buying into a Marriott property, make sure this one still is!
