eBay deals vs. my Moms offer

My guess is it's not. Even if mom bought from the Marriott at the pre-construction price, it was more than $15K

Not necessarily. MDS was one of Marriott's first timeshare projects, built a long time ago. That's part of why it doesn't have ROFR. FWIW, NCV pre-construction in 1999 was ~18K for Platinum, from my sources. So, IMO, 15K isn't out of the question for MDS, maybe even less.

One can hope

You parents have been giving you free vacations for your life.

Why are your parents trying to get rid of thier timeshare?

I give free weeks to my kids all the time. I dont think any of them would want to buy a timeshare (except one that wants Worldmark-to extend the vacation week I already provide) because they already get them for free from me.

If by chance I quit giving it to them and say, "you need to pay my mf if you want to use my week", then Im sure they would. Or in my case if I were to say "I just dont want to go to Hawaii anymore will you just take over my timeshare and the mf's. Im sure they would.

If I did want to get rid of one of my timeshares and I owed money for them, it might be because I need the money.

Im sure your parents think they are giving you an opportunity, while freeing themselves from debt. Maybe they like cruising better than timeshareing now. Thier desires are changing. While you are figuring out what thier timeshare is worth also factor in thier personal situation.
