Re: BUYING DEVELOPER vs RESALE (typical scenario) (by Jacqueline B.):
Can anyone answer this question? How is it that a timeshare is sold in "points" from a developer, ie- x amount of points can get you a 2 br every year, but the same resort is sold as a 2br week on a re-sale site?? Are you actually buying a week or a certain number of points? I'm asking because we just got back from PVR mexico where w finally said "no". I see that on this site the same units are for sale for half the price or cheaper. What I don't get is if they are selling points or weeks. According to the sales people (of course) buying resale is a bogus risk, and we would never be able to get the same deal they were selling.
We are considering buying at Paradise Village in PVR, Mexico. They sell there in a points system. On RW they are selling weeks/units. Can anyone clarify this for me? Thanks!!
