Does anyone know who owns Resort Rentals International? How do they get the weeks to Rent? They are renting on Ebay for less than the MF. How do they do this?

The way a lot of organizations do this for less than MF is because they usually have NOTHING invested, the inventory is often coming from some poor schmuck like you or me who just wants something back for something they can't use or don't know how to use.

They are using the RCI gold "crown" and the descriptions seems to be the same as RCI. Oh my, could this be another off shoot of Rental Condos Inc???

Joy, I would say for sure this is another RCI rental site, only they have located it in Virginia....I wonder why? Is it because of the conditions of a lawsuit settlement pending?

Definitely has the same search engine setup, pictures, descriptions....even the pricing is within the same range as RCI EV's....but here is a caution to anyone thinking of using the site to do a reservation: the reserve now area is not https secure....at least it wasn't when I just did a quick mock reserve...be careful that you don't give out any credit card over that site unless you can be sure it is secure.

Walt, you find them, don't you?

No Blue Bay Club inventory, though. I'm surprised.

They used to have a page that gave a blurb about their employees. I was on close terms with one who used to work at Powhatan. I have also spoken with the owner back a few years ago.

If you mean Rents Condos Instead, no, this is an independent company but any travel company can go to Group RCI and get their own 'branded' access to RCI inventory.

RRI is not a part of RCI. Any travel company can go to Group RCI and get their own 'branded' access to RCI inventory and program whatever 'mark-up' they want into the search engine.

Yes, after some more research, this is what I have also concluded, as the site is run by a travel agency, and a while back, RCI/Wyndham did say that they were "thrilled" to be able to offer this new "value" for TA's. Just another drain off inventory of which it is hard to keep track.
