Re: BUYING DEVELOPER vs RESALE (typical scenario) (by R P.):

Is there no difference, they both are 3 bedroom, one floating week annually. This is at the Grand Beach resort in Orlando Fl.
There's absolutely no difference. The probable reason that one person is asking $8,999 is, more than likely, because they bought from the developer and are wanting their money back on the resale market (they're dreaming).
The $999 ad was more than likely bought on the resale market and that's all the seller wants out of it.
Same product, different types of purchase (one developer and one resale). That's why you see such discrepencies in price for the same timeshare in the resale marketplace.
You're very wise to peruse the resale market for what you want as you can save a TON of money by doing so.
