We own 10 Marriott timeshares and I guess our children will inherit them or let them go when we are gone. It has always been a burden to pay the annual maintenance fees and then make sure we don't waste the weeks. I think our kids like this better than we do, but they aren't paying the maintenance fees yet. I did notice that good deeded Platinum Marriott Newport Coast weeks are now listed at $6,500 per week on Redweek. These are down about $3,000 over the past couple of years. My question is "why the big drop" in price for these great weeks? For those considering a Vacation Club Points purchase, getting enough points to buy one of these Newport Coast weeks would cost over $50,000 up front with well over double the annual maintenance fees compared to just buying the week.
