Re: Why is there such a big range of prices for resales? (by Kim M.):
I am not an expert but from my experience owning timeshares at the Marriott New Port Villas ($20,000 from builder) and Sunterra at Poipu Point on Kuaui, a reasale for only $10,000. Both 2 bedroom, 2 bath annual use. It has a lot to do with every year use or every other year use, ocean front, ocean view, or garden or pool view, 1 bed, 2 bed, or suite. Season you purchase into. Location, location, location. Trading power with Interval is better with a 5 star location (Interval catolog given only to members) than a lesser home resort. Also the maintenance fees are important as well. If it is a every other year use than you pay only the year you use. Not sure if that will help anyone out there but possibly.
