These are the steps I took in looking for the contracts I’m currently purchasing. This was my first time to buy resale so others can probably give you more direction. I looked for about a month before I found something I really wanted to pursue. The contracts I’m purchasing are deeded, not CWA but I did consider CWA during my search and both my developer purchases were CWA. I have 450,000 CWA points and am purchasing 329,000 deeded resale points.
1. After years of reading TUG, I actually joined so I could have access to the full site and I bookmarked the bargain basement and TS giveaway sections of the site. I checked them every day. I eventually found the contracts I wanted on the giveaway section.

2. I sent emails to Timeshare Nation and LT Transfers telling them what I was looking for and asking them to contact me if they had something I might be interested in. LT Transfers doesn’t actually sell timeshares but they will put buyers and sellers in touch with each other when they can. TS Nation sent me a couple of emails about contracts they had to giveaway before they listed them on their website. As Richelle pointed out, contracts on the TS Nation site are completely free to the purchaser. LT Transfers also sent me a couple of emails about contracts that some of their customers were trying to transfer. If I remember correctly, the only cost associated with those was the $299 Wyndham fee.
3. I also checked other sites such as ebay, Sumday and Redweek but I was never comfortable making a bid on anything. I had never used ebay before and there are numerous threads on this forum about unsavory sellers on ebay. Others here use ebay with great success but I just didn’t feel like I knew enough to pull the trigger on anything.
As I said, I found someone giving away 2 contracts on TUG for the total amount of points I wanted and I’m paying the $150 dollar charge for LT Transfers to do the closing and the $299 fee to Wyndham for each contract.
Good luck with your search!
