Lowest maintenance= Best value (by R P.):

Oooops. I forgot to mention the price. I bought 5 weeks at less than $10k each, with $350 annual fees. The price at local resorts with same "trading power" is $50k-$70k. Although you can buy resale for much less, I believe I saved at least $50k upfront, and locked in my future costs at $350 per week (less than the cost of one night for 6 people in a 5 star hotel). So you can enjoy 7 nights for the cost of one, every year for life! And I did'nt have to go to Africa to do it. I have done it from my office in California.

I would say in this economy that a good buy would be closer to less than $100, not $10,000 with all the nice weeks on Ebay for $1?

And yes, in your first post you failed to mention the initial cost you paid into the equation per night. Plus you have to count exchange company yearly dues and exchange fees everytime you make an exchange and you forgot special assessments .... you were merely going by yearly maintenance fees.

Many people make the same mistake you made by not counting the initial cost, but merely the maintenance fees. I have to chuckle when I see such.
