RE: >> Buying timeshares from a reseller can present problems. Wyndham will not honor points purchased from resellers.<< ==============================================

It is true that some CORPORATE systems such as Wyndham exclude certain benefits from "resale" purchases. These corporations (understandably) want all purchases to be made directly from them and their practices help to prop up "market value". One can't fault that logic and their products are certainly very good ones (although still quite overpriced, in my personal opinion).

However, in the majority of instances (including each and every deeded "fixed" unit / week purchase on the planet) it does NOT matter one bit from whom a resale purchase is made. Such weeks are (and remain) exactly what they are, whether purchased resale on eBay, or from a classified ad placed by a private individual or by a commercial reseller. In my experience, the best "value" deals are often "one on one" transactions where the buyer has researched the actual current market value and the seller is looking to sell at a fair price --- but is not necessarily looking to "hit a home run" on the transaction, like many commercial resellers.
