How much cheaper outside Marriott and where to buy points outside? Assume resale weeks dont get points but are very cheap

I would check resale websites such as E-Bay, Craigslist, My Resort Network, Timeshare Users Group (TUG), or even right here on RedWeek. That will tell you how much cheaper it would be. And even if you don't get points on a resale, the value of those points is probably far less than the $30,000 you are about to pay for them.

Before plopping down $30,000, do your research. Figure out what your vacation needs and desires are. Also, consider your financial situation (do you really have a spare $30,000 sitting in your pocket right now?). Besides, if a few months down the road you find that what these people offered you is a good deal, that deal will still be there despite what they might have told you (eg., "This deal is good for today only", "Scoop this up while it's red hot", "We've sold dozens of these just this week and we have a very limited number left", etc.).
