Anyone buy a membership recently? Care to share what you paid and what you got? I've got one for sale and am trying to price it fairly. $7500. It is unused, 25 weeks, plus free week at TTR. Garden view, 4 referral weeks/year. RCI/SFX/Worldpass.
The key to buying is can you sell the referral weeks to your friends, etc...? referral weeks will make a return on your investment. Not sure I would depend on the company to sell your referral weeks. Good luck with the sale.
Referral weeks are 25% off the rack rate but for the most part you can usually find prices somewhere in between the 2. I personally think that trying to sell a referral week for X $'s and having that person sit through the 60-90 minute presentation for the member perks is a bit of a stretch. The referring member gets a $250 credit for them going to the presentation and $500 if they buy. Having said that I do realize there may be certain times of the year that there could be a large difference the referral rate and the best internet / travel agent price so selling could be a viable. Last May we gave friends a referral week which was about $30 / night cheaper than the best internet price; a savings of $210. So selling it to them just for the member benefits and then having them do the presentation is not something I'd be comfortable doing...friends right The credit is more than enough for us.
Thanks all...I'm trying to avoid losing money, but I'm open to a fair price. Just not going to be able to use it and could use the money elsewhere. I'm open to a fair negotiation, just want to get what it is worth based on current market.
