Hello,
I've been doing some research over the last couple of weeks on this site. My wife and I visited the HGVC Tuscany Village resort last year on a promo trip, and although we don't make large financial decisions on the spur of the moment and declined their offer, we have been discussing the possibility of purchasing a timeshare since then. I'm glad I found this site because I had no idea about timeshare resales and I know that if we do purchase, we will be doing it on the secondary market.
We love to travel, and so do our kids. We have three, ages 9, 6, and 5. We've been to Gatlinburg and Cedar Point with the kids, as well as lots of quick weekend trips with them to Washington DC, NYC and other places in the northeast. My wife and I used to travel often before we had our kids, and loved going to Key West, the Outer Banks, St. Maarten, Boston, and ski trips as often as we could. Our kids are dying to go to Disney and the other Orlando parks, but from what I've been reading on here, those resorts aren't necessarily the best to own due to an abundance of inventory making it pretty easy to get in there on an exchange but not necessarily great to exchange out of.
Given our travel habits, I think a points system like what Wyndham offers would probably be the best for us. Also, we're considering using one of the northeast ski areas or Myrtle Beach as a home location, but I saw this listing for Branson which looks ok, and would be nice since my wife has a lot of family in MO. I'm still very new at all of this and want to make the best informed decision that I can, so looking for advice. I've posted the ebay listing below, and was wondering if anyone has dealt with this seller before and if Branson is a desirable home location for exchanges, etc. Sorry for the long post, and thank you for any advice you can offer.
