Dennis--
Thanks for starting that blog. I'll get on and add a comment so it will pop up when a new post is made.
Also, one of the weeks we own was given to us by a family member who was not going to use it anymore, so Marriott did call it an "external" sale--even though not one dime changed hands (however, they did compromise and let us always be able to trade every other year for Marriott Reward Points). So we did pay the $1,995 to enroll all three weeks. My understanding is that is the only downside of an "external" sale--i.e., not being able to trade for the Marriott Reward Points.
