Maybe they should have put listing up prior to accepting requests?

Just got this :

We do apologize for the technical difficulties in activating this Kierland resale offer on MyStarCentral. Since the starting time was supposed to be 12 noon eastern time today, we are going to reschedule the offer. Please look for emails letting all owners know the reschedule time.

Like a preview?

That makes too much sense.

No sh*t - it would have been easier to pre-list them - and then make them available for purchase at a stated date-time. There is no advantage to doing otherwise - and the disadvantage is just like what happened…

clowns apparently are running the circus...

I haven't received any of the earlier emails but did just receive this one.

Scottsdale Sonoran Villas Vacation Owners Association
October 16, 2014

Dear Westin Kierland Villas Owner,

Due to a technical issue, the website for the Vacation Ownership Interest resale opportunity is currently down. As a result, the limited term resale offer will be postponed to a later date. You will be notified by email of the new purchase dates.

They must have broke it good.....

You would think the fix would only take a day or two.

Maybe the "fix" was that they sold the weeks to Starwood! I was just recently offered (and purchased) a WKV Plat Plus lockoff from Direct Sales to requal one of my resale weeks. :ponder:

Still nothing is listed in MSC. Also, how did you get a hold of 148,100 Plat at WKV? I have been in touch with sales and they keep telling me nothing available. Literally, "NOTHING is available." Maybe they don't want to waste their time with me?? :rofl: I am sure they are referring to different inventory than HOA owned weeks. Not looking to make a developer purchase either but I would like to see what's available through the HOA owned weeks.

I had been discussing my requal path with Direct Sales and the deal they offered me was rejected by the inventory department. (Basically they were unwilling to sell 2 even EOY deeds for the same price as an annual -- it had to be an even and an odd). I didn't like any of their proposed alternatives, so I didn't end up purchasing anything. A few weeks later my salesperson e-mailed saying they had just gotten a WKV Plat Plus and I jumped on it. I would think that when they get these, they sell within a couple of hours, so you'd need a salesperson to alert you rather than relying on calling in to check inventory.

Lets not have everybody calling into SVN sales and asking to get on a wait list which would cause the association to sell them to SVN at a low price and get marked up significantly

It is SVO Sales.
These are VOIs from WKV HOA that are being sold - not from SVO Sales. There are a couple ways SVO Sales can get these - very profitable for them.

Watch out for speculation stated like facts.

As an owner I am concerned about non-paying Owners as the HOA (us...) picks up the MFs resulting in an increase in MFs. So... I don't care who buys them.
It is the non-Plat weeks getting sold that the owners should pay attention to. I would be happy if anyone picked these up.

As WKV is a M resort - not sure why would buy at premium via the HOA (w/o benefit), or SVO Sales (which comes with a higher Elite status and is a personal choice on value - which comes at a premium)

My WKV Plat+ resales have almost paid for themselves (w/o fuzzy math. meaning... strictly by rental)

WSJ-VGV was the 1st to do this (because of Bob and Phil thinking outside the box), and have already had 2 successful HOA sales.

Resale units went on sale today to previous owners. Prices look very reasonable.
