Re: Selling my unit (by Andrew B.):
It's common knowledge that around 60% of what you pay is to cover the sales and marketing costs for the developer when you purchase direct. After all if only 1 out of every 10 presentations buy then the buyer ends up covering the costs for the 9 that don't. When resorts offer these cheap £200-£300 3 night packages with a car included it is costing them a lot more than this to get the client in front of a sales person.
That's why Resales make so much more sense as you can save up to 70% off the upfront joining costs. Many sellers have had value for money already or just don't use it anymore and want to sell before the next maintenance fee is due.
