Not actively looking but always browsing and we go to Hawaii every year (not always Oahu) for a week at a time. We have two young kids and lots of vacation time and lots of family in Hawaii and we have liked HHV when we've stayed before (twice). We prefer Oahu to the other islands because of the diversity of the food and our family being located there.
On Ebay now is a 2 BR at Lagoon Tower. Annual usage, platinum season (floating weeks 1-18, 23-35, 42-52), 7000 points, and MF of $1442.
In addition to the winning bid are usual fees $835 plus "annual club dues charged by HGVC between $136 and $175 per year" and "$250 points activation fee per unit."
OK, walk me through this:
Does this mean I could *not* use this unit between 19-22 and 36-41? Those are lower demand weeks in general; or does it just mean that my unit offers me access to higher demand weeks and that I could (if I wanted) "trade down"?
What are 7000 points good for? How easily would I be able to exchange those for a week on another island?
What is a reasonable/fair price to pay (excluding the above fees)?
I thought Hawaii MFs tended to be high but these seem low. Explanation?
Thank you!
