Re: Can I trust these e-bay sales?? (by Kenneth K.):

There is a Marriott Monarch for $1.00 on e bay right now.

It lists the week as trades as RED. When you look up the RCI or II trading power, it is not a RED WEEK. So you really need to be careful.

As for maint fees & taxes, this particular ad seems to have it near correct. ( Most Marriott weeks are pushing toward $1000 a week with taxes.

But think....you will pay $887 maint for a week that is not red time. ( Forget the purchase price). You can rent out that same week for less than $500 on Redweek, and many other sites.

There is another possible reason to perhaps jump here. That is the day pass use. Marriotts HOAs of the HHI units allow day pass use....which means an owner can use the facilities ( except the apartment) anytime. If you lived close to the Marriott, even the Monarch has 3 pools, ocean waterfront, but of course, using day pass at the Grand Ocean or Barony might be a step upward.

I don't know if <$1000 maint is worth the Marriott option of reserving out 13 months instead of 12.
