I also bought a resale on E-bay. I paid about $6,700 for a two bedroom lock-off which came with 81,000 star options. StarPoints do not transfer with resales. My timeshare is a Mandatory Property which allows you to trade with other Starwood properties.

Do you have to trade directly with the property owner because I have never heard of a Mandatory Property? Starwood has also advised that resales are not part of their network so therefore they do not allow you to trade inside their network. What is a Mandatory Property and why would Starwood treat this different in the resale market and allow you to trade in their network?
