FYI. I purchased a marriott maui ocean club resale. I was also told marriott would never let that go at the price i paid 1,000 bucks. They let it go and now I own it.

Christopher, you may have bought between 2008 and 2010 when they were letting everything go as they were prepping for the new points program and had lots of people giving up their timeshares. Marriott could not afford all of the maintenance fees as they were financially strapped too so you were lucky. Now they toss all of that inventory into the Trust so that points owners can have access to desirable weeks. A Maui Ocean Club unit will more than likely be kept by Marriott as they will probably exercise their Right of First Refusal. I do agree thouth that one should just go ahead and try to buy and if they get lucky great. If Marriott uses ROFR, so be it. Look elsewhere.
