IMHO the monetary value of a product is what you can sell it for. The car is a great analogy. Just because you bought a new car from the dealer right off the lot for $25,000 doesn't mean it's worth that much when you get it home.
If the developer can sell you a timeshare interval for $25,000 than that is it's monetary value to the developer. If you can sell that same interval for $1, than that is it's monetary value to you.
If a developer makes a retail interval more valuable or coveted than a resale interval, than the monetary value of said interval is worth even less after the initial sale.
Sally, you basically want to make the timeshare that you own worthless on the open market. Sure if you keep it, use it, and enjoy it for the rest of your life then there is probably no loss on your part. I however think the majority of people would care and have second thoughts about purchasing "the more valuable retail timeshare" with "NO" residual value.
