What do you think of the above resort's trading power during the "Red" season? I really didn't need anymore timeshares but could not resist bidding on the above TS as the mf is only $447 a year for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit, float, gold crown.

I won this item today on a bid and wondered if it has good trading power with RCI during Red season.

Also, is it worth joining the Diamond Club? They were asking over $5,000 + for it and I thought that was steep. What is the advantage of this aside from turning your week into points so that you can chop your vacation and trade with other resorts?

$447 cannot be the right MF amount, cannot. They either have the MF or the SIZE wrong, so you can get out of your deal. Highest time other than Super Bowl is MARCH Spring Training. Just RED season means little.

$2995 has been the no points figure in the past, $5000 usually came with 2000 extra points on conversion.

Yes, I believe they messed up on e-bay. I have bought from this guy before so he should (hopefully) let me out as he sells many timeshares on e-bay. I realized that something was wrong when I started thinking 750 s.f., the amount of the MF and after seeing Redweek stating that 2 bedrooms holds 6-8, this unit I purchased sounds more like a 1 bedroom.

The $5,500 is with 2,000 points as the sales lady from DR told me I have to have 2,000 points more to get in.

From the sound of your post, you probably do not think this resort is a good trade value. I definitely will try to back out if this is a 1 bedroom. Not sure if it's worth it if it's a 2 bedroom, I guess it depends on the MF.

Thanks,

Toni

Magnificent Scottsdale Arizona Timeshare!
RCI’s Top Rating of “Gold Crown”
Plus A Top Rated “Five-Star Premier” Resort!
________________________________________

No Reserve!!
This means that we have NOT set a minimum selling price. While we would certainly like to sell this wonderful timeshare at a higher price, we need to clear out some of our inventory. Our willingness to sell this timeshare for such a low price is absolutely no reflection of the resort. It is just that we are loaded with inventory and need to move some out. Therefore we are fully prepared to sell it at the bidder's winning bid amount, even if it is only at the starting auction price of $1. So if you’ve ever wanted to own a timeshare, this could be your lucky day!
A Top Rated Interval International “Five Star Premier” Resort!


An RCI Top Rated “Gold Crown” Resort!


Resort Information
The Scottsdale Villa Mirage is a fabulous RCI "Gold Crown" Resort, as well as an Interval International top rated "Five-Star Premier" Resort and for good reason. The beautiful resort is the crown jewel of Scottsdale, Arizona. Located only 10 minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown Scottsdale, this resort is the ideal location to provide both the tranquility you seek in a vacation, as well as put you well within reach of all that the area has to offer. Known for its spectacular views of McDowell Mountains, incredible restaurants, unique shopping, arts and crafts, and Western ambience, this area of the country is sure to please. Whether you prefer golfing, biking, hiking, playing tennis, taking desert Jeep tours, and swimming in the outdoor pool or a more laid back approach to your vacation, it won’t be difficult to find it here. While you are here, you certainly will not want to miss visiting the Phoenix Zoo, spring training baseball camps, and taking day-trips to the Grand Canyon and Sedona as well.


About The Condo
This wonderful vacation home (deeded #133F) is part of the resort's “Floating” system, which means that each year when you call to choose your week you will then be assigned your unit, but you will always get at least a large two bedroom vacation home referred to as the “Deluxe” unit. These beautifully appointed homes are fully equipped with a full kitchen and two full baths, a romantic Jacuzzi tub, a washer & dryer, plus a lovely fireplace. With 750 square feet of living area, the whole family (up to four people) will sleep comfortably in this spacious condo. All homes at this resort are professionally decorated and fully equipped with everything you'll need to make your stay one you'll remember for a lifetime including all kitchenware, towels, linens, pillows, blankets, etc. All you will need to do is show up and enjoy!


The Week
The week is also in the resort's "Floating" system, which simply means that you can call the resort each year and choose the week that suits you best for that year….ANY WEEK! Once you reserve your week you can use it yourself or you can trade your PRIME RED week for one of over 6,600 resorts in the RCI Exchange System (code is 4041) or the Interval International Exchange System (code is SVG & SV2) as it is affiliated with both. The trading power is really excellent as this area is very popular year round. The week has had an excellent trading history for places like Orlando, Myrtle Beach, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, South Padre Island, and many others. The ownership and usage is annual, it is permanently deeded, and the yearly maintenance and taxes total $447, a real bargain for a full week’s vacation in this magnificent location.





More Details
There is no mortgage on this timeshare. Maintenance and taxes are up to date. You will receive a Warranty Deed, which means that you are guaranteed free and clear title with no encumbrances.
Please Note!!
The purchaser will begin ownership with the 2009 week and be responsible for paying the 2009 maintenance fees when billed by the resort. Please also note that this is the time of year when most resorts send out their maintenance invoices and it is likely that this will occur during the closing process for this transaction. Therefore the new purchaser must agree to forward payment for the 2009 maintenance fees when the closing company requests it, as most resorts require this payment to accompany any transfer documents.
Please note that the pictures you see in this auction are of a "typical" unit. They were supplied by the resort itself or one of the exchange companies. If you need more detailed information please feel free to contact us, and we will be happy to tell you anything we can, however please do so BEFORE you bid. We would hate for you to win the auction only to find out later that there was a question you didn’t ask, thus making you back out of the transaction. eBay does not look kindly on bidders who don’t follow thru with their promises, and we follow eBay’s rules on reporting “Non-paying bidders”. Please check out their “Three-strikes-and-your-out” rule as they’ve gotten pretty strict on enforcing it these days.
Here’s Some Information About the Closing Process
The closing of this transaction will be handled by a professional closing company with many years of experience in the transfer of resale timeshares. Their price for closing is quite reasonable and very competitive. We use this firm, and this firm ONLY. Why? Because we’ve tried several over the years and most have disappointed us (and our customers) one way or another. This company is fast, thorough, and responsive. And in the rare case that they make an error they admit it, and fix it. Please don’t ask us to close this transaction any other way because we will not be able to accommodate you. The cost to the purchaser will be only $435. This price will include all closing costs including document preparation, deed recording, priority mailings, and all county, state, and municipal transfer taxes and recording fees. They will even register the new deed with the resort on behalf of the new owner. Should you like to contact them or have questions for them, they can be reached at (toll free) 1-800-370-9336 or direct at 608-846-1581. You can also email them at customerservice@thetimesharecompany.com.

Please note: Although the listing states that this item is available for “pickup only”, this is a defaulted setting in this listing category that cannot be changed. The closing process will be handled via email and the mail system, so you will not need to travel to purchase this for any reason.
Here's a Summary of What Will Be Due at the Close of the Auction
Your Winning Bid Price plus:

Closing Fee: $435 (includes document preparation, transfer taxes, etc.)
Resort Transfer Fee: $250 (A Bit Steep But We Think This Resort Is Well Worth It!)

Winner of this auction may make payment via cashier's check or money order, personal check, Visa or MasterCard. If you would like to use any other credit card (such as Amex or Discover) you may use Paypal.com.
Please note that personal checks, while welcome, may delay the documents a bit while the closing company waits for your funds to clear your bank.
