This is my first time posting.. also I have never purchases resale TS.
We currently own 154k Wyndham points based on Kona, Hawaii.
We were originally fairfield. We've owned for over 12 years but have only recently started taking real advantage of it. [Disney etc]
I was at an 'update' recently and they tried to sell us into the ACCESS program.
60+ resorts, lower maintenance etc etc.
It wasn't that bad a deal actually but I know that resale if quite a bit less expensive so I opted to look into this first.
I have read a bunch of discussions but still want some clarification.
1) Looking at ebay there are a number of sales that look interesting but I wanted some feedback to see if I evaluated them correctly.
A few that that are live now that I was looking at are below.
I found this nice summary in another post and was curious if it was still accurate: "You don't need to know every resorts mf to make a deal. Just know $4 is great; $5 is good; $5.50 is about average $6 is high"
- applying this I got -
SMOKEY MOUNTAIN:
308,000
1574/year
= $5.11 / thousand (Reasonable)
ACCESS:
64,000
557/year
= $8.7 (Very High)
Williamsburg
154,000
68
= 5.29
Bonnet:
329k
1723
= 5.24
Nashville:
49k
312
= 6.36
413,000 ANNUAL POINTS - WYNDHAM PANAMA CITY BEACH TIMESHARE FOR SALE (BOGO) -87,000 ANNUAL POINTS - WYNDHAM SMOKY MOUNTAINS
Total of 500k points:
Works out to $4.37
Am I heading in the right direction with this?
I was just basing it on a few places I wouldn't mind vacationing..
Also wanted to get my points up.. 400k is suppose to be VIP silver etc but I don't know if that applies to purchases in this way.. when they span multiple contracts and include resale.
currently I was watching the followingin order of preference)
Bonnet:

timeshare_resales
Smoky Mountains

Panama City:

acobbfan
ACCESS:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/161564005117
This is from qualityvacations and they don't seem to have decent ratings. As well the price / 1000 is VERY high at over $8
2) I couldn't find anything on the seller "timeshare_resales"; and they didn't have a lot of activity in the past year so I was a bit concerned.
They look legit to me, but being new I am a bit gun-shy.
3) Anything else I should be considering before purchasing? Additional (reoccurring) fees?
4) Specifically regarding BONNET CREEK. We love the place and have been going there the past few years. I was considering this a good first purchase for us since we would definitely US it. But in other posts there was some very adamant threads about buying in Florida being a bad idea. Should I look elsewhere?
5) Wyndham ACCESS: is this something you can get resale. The one on Ebay now seem very pricey and I'm not sure if its something I should pursue.
Thanks for any feedback and HELLO!
