I think that you have a very solid point. On the other hand, i have seen at least 10-15 DVC listings on Ebay in the last 2-3 weeks. And I expect the prices on ebay to be cheaper for any timeshare because buyers have to factor in the additional risk. Many Ebay sellers seem to be brokers that do a decent job (although lacking in communication) but the reality is that there is little info on who they are. Maybe Tuggers know a bit more in general but what about the random buyer? Who would send thousands of dollars to a seller they know nothing about?
You should start a post about purchasing on eBay. I am suspicious of any eBay listings that are for a timeshare that sellers could easily sell at a much higher price. Some of the eBay listings for DVC are asking the normal resale price. Others appear to be from distressed buyers yet I am noticing those prices are getting bid up to almost the normal resale price range. Like Panina, I would not buy a timeshare on eBay that costs more than a few dollars due to the risks involved. However, many people buy timeshares on eBay all the time. If it is a really good deal, you could turn around and resell it for thousands more the next day (after closing that is).
