On a serious note, the OP brings up an issue which anyone with any experience in timesharing is aware of, that being that the developer/retailer of the timeshare is in direct competition with owners who wish to get out of timesharing, and, thus, sell what they own. Rather than provide a realistic exit strategy, say one by which they would include inventory of current owners wanting to sell, or assist them in some manner, they resort to an antagonistic strategy, saying they will, or actually do, exclude some perks of ownership if they are not the ones bought from.
The fact that they are in direct competition with current owners is the reason major developer/retailers give for not assisting them . . . It would be a "conflict of interest".
That is how they are able to get several thousands of dollars for something that a present owner cannot give away. That and the fact that the current owners do not have a streamlined, well-moneyed, high-pressure sales machine working for them.
It just seems a shame, wrong, that the people who have funded the industry over the years should be considered to be the competition when they want out.
It would also seem to be in the Resorts' best interest to have owners who want to be owners.
