Resale buy backs, prices and discrimination? (by Don S.):

I finally negotiated a bit with MC and bought a week every other year from them at a price in the mid teens of thousands. I am pretty sure I paid too much, but in the end, I decided I did not want the nightmare of being discriminated against because I owned a resale.

All of that said, I remain curious, as I am sure others on Redweek are, about what MCs resale control practices really are. Judging by the asking prices on Redweek, either they are buying a lot of shares back under their right of 1st refusal at the last minute, or they are selling new shares directly from MC at a 100% mark up over the resale market.
