Sounds like an argument for using DAE or another independent!If I don't get the trades I want, I use my timeshares! I guess RCI figured out(duh) SA owners can not easily do this, and they can cut trading power with impunity.

Carolinian, thanks for checking the value assigned on Durban Sands.
If I could ask either you or abdibile a favor, would you mind checking, from the RCI Europe site, if Durban Sands shows up as a resort option. The reason I ask is that it hasn't been an available trade on the RCI USA web site for some time. So if you can't book a week from the US or Europe, who is able to?
When I go to Manage Accounts it shows me three weeks (2010, 2011, 2012) and a link to "Deposit Now". Does this mean my weeks were never deposited or am I reading something wrong? I did instruct Dikhololo to deposit my weeks as soon as they were paid for.

I do not see availability at Durban Sands.
Generally I see much less availability in South Africa than when i started looking around two years ago.
Without other filters and "see all deposit" there are only 327 units in South Africa. (My last deposit expires may 2013, do not know if that matters when shosing see all units)
But I think "RCI Europe Site" is not really different from US.
I acess it through RCI.com website and after logging in it just is in German as this is set in my preferences.
After Black Sunday i could see how badly RCI were downgrading the South African resorts and decided to cut my losses. I am glad i did, when i see how they have all been hammered. As a earlier poster said South Africa is limited availability ALL YEAR yet they get rated so bad. The resorts i owned were hardly ever shown on line available, so why are they so badly rated. What i have been told is that most locals do not exchange their weeks or are points members. That is not much cheer to others who own there. On a more personal note buying into the UK has proved a good move for me, as my resort weeks have done OK.

...Or a 1BR at Vacation Village at Parkway, the resort with the biggest oversupply in the entire RCI system a 50.
I remember taking a tour at vacation village at parkway from David Siegel's next door neighbor. It was one of the more memorable tours we ever took. One thing I do remember him saying was some very strong political ties between RCI and that resort. I imagine that is why you are seeing that...
A 2 bedroom at Vacation Village at Parkway runs 9-25 depending on time of year.
