Price ?
Hollywood Beach Tower ( Hollywood by the Sea) 0ne bed 2 bath sleep six on beach with pools. Fixed week- Christmas with Intracoastal View. Hospitality (RCI)
Price to sell
I'm asking because I've seen some of these weeks listed by some of the REALTORS who are posting here. I know their homework was done, and I know the pricing was near ( but not at) e bay pricing........
If we do the job right, doesn't it make sense to ADVISE the person trying to sell approx what they might hope to get for their week or points?
(POINTS!!!! Do I dare ask the listing value some would advise on FF/Wyndham points???? A Wyndham Newport 189,000 points week sold on e bay for less than $800.00 - I guess the maint fees must be super high??)
================================= Ken:
Just like the signs at the zoo say --- PLEASE DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS!!
In Webster's Dictionary, one of the definitions of parasite is (quoted verbatim in pertinent part):
"...a person who receives support or advantage without giving any useful or proper return.....""
I don't think I could have said it any better myself in perfectly describing these upfront fee parasites.
No one EVER needs to utilize, no one EVER needs to pay (and no one EVER has to even acknowledge the existence of) these bottom dwelling, upfront fee parasites. Starve them right out of existence and they will then (quite appropriately) cease to exist at all --- to the benefit of anyone and everyone associated in any way with the timeshare industry. They may then have to go earn a legitimate living, but such a dramatic change in lifestyle will probably be good for them.....
