Denise --
Thanks for the compliment regarding my efforts with the Direct Trade Board! I am very disappointed that it hasn't resulted in any private exchanges, but I keep plugging along with it, hoping beyond all hope that it will catch on with owners.
Everyone should understand there is much effort that goes into maintaining the data base and keeping postings on the board current. Thus, until the board begins to result in direct trades, I find it pointless to further dilute membership with additional WKORV units.
Here's the most recent stats regarding the board. To date, there are 85 owners who have a total of 126 weeks in the database. The breakdown is as follows:
Resort-----------
# of weeks--------
% of Total
Vistana-------------11----------------8.73%
Vistana Villages------11---------------8.73%
Kierland-------------13---------------10.32%
Ka`anapali-----------34--------------26.98%
Ka`anapali North------3----------------2.38%
Lagunamar------------1----------------0.79%
Mission Hills----------17---------------13.49%
St. John-------------11--------------- 8.73%
As I stated previously, I am still accepting WKORV units from people who also have units at other resorts within the Starwood Vacation Network. While I'm still adding owners at WKORV-North, I will soon have to stop accepting these also.
Inquiries about the board should be directed to
