Since Diamond Resorts bought Intrawest a lot of points has been on sale on eBay . Is there anything I should be concerned about ? Most sellers seem honest , I am more concerned about Diamond resorts and Embarc . Thanks for any info .

Buying intrawest points on eBay

What are you concerned about?
DRI bought out the developer of Club Intrawest (CI) so they now manage the resorts and sell developer points. They also were forced to change the name from Club Intrawest to Embrac
They sell points for about $200/pt and you can buy them resale for about $10/pt. What could DRI possible give you to make you pay 20 times the resale value of the pts?
If you do buy resale from a current owner, DRI will tell you all the things you don't get BUT the big thing you'll get is Club Intrawest points which can be used to make reservations at any of the 9 great CI resorts. Also you can open your own private Interval International (II) account and make outstanding trades with your reserved CI weeks.

Agree with Bill. All the Embarc resorts are well-maintained and beautiful places. Getting points resale is the only way that makes sense. Nothing DRI could offer "extra" at $200 a point is worth the difference in price.

Are resale point eligible for the EE program? Is there still a minimum price that makes resale points eligible?
Is DRI using their Right of First Refusal? Anyone know the price point under which they are using it?

EE is extraordinary escapes, Embrac own in-house exchange company but it is basically just a fancy corporate II membership
EE is offered only if you buy developer pts AND you must maintain your membership in EE because if you drop out of EE you are no longer allowed to rejoin EE without buying more developer pts ( as of Sept 1 2016) .
I've heard that DRI is not using ROFR at all for embrac

Wow - really?
These were in the $40's per point not long ago IIRC. Is it just 25% from what it was a few years ago?

Yes, being taken over by DRI will do that to points values... Unfortunately.

So I looked again to see where I got the ~ $10/pt BUT I see that the poster was saying that they had seen a fair amount sold for $30/pt not the $10 I had said.
So for the 150 - 200 pt memberships that most people had. That would mean $4,500 to $6,000.
Hello to all Intrawest / Embarc members,
Spring 2015 I hired a law firm to looked at the Intrawest rules. The FROR and all others rules about resale and transfer.
After all these Months I will have the chance to meet Intrawest Law Firm and discuss with them about The Class action I started.
They want to know how big can be the group of people, Canadian, US and other countries.
My meeting in on October 26th, I'll be able to provide more information about it after the meeting.
Intrawest do not recognize that we are loosing more than 70% of our point's value when we try to sell them.
