        Why not? Not many many places have the honor of being ranked 52 out of 52.

        Obviously a case of giving supply (lack thereof) way too much importance.

        More insanity:

            A studio at Caribe on Sanibel the same week is 19.

            The more I see, the more I believe they haven't got any idea how to value stuff, either to deposit or to exchange.

              What are you actually comparing? If I saw a Sandpiper for 11 I would grab it the manager there is a sweetheart.

              Are these values you are seeing from the deposit calculator or live inventory?

                      A thought occurs, one directed at those of us who have been together for the long haul, say ten years or more:

                      Even in the darkest hour, has there never not been some loopholes, as if that is part of whatever is the business model du jour?

                        and that has been the intriguing part of this latest version for me. There is always something. The thing that keeps us going is finding it so we can exploit it. Or not.

                          Or, could it be intentional, to placate, knowing the village people will not storm the castle if they find out about the monstor.

                            I don't like to give them that much credit, but the last several months has been like riding into the valley of death with several less than 600.

                            Half a league, half a league,
                              Half a league onward,
                            All in the valley of Death
                              Rode the six hundred.
                            'Forward, the Light Brigade!
                            Charge for the guns' he said:
                            Into the valley of Death
                              Rode the six hundred.

                              I don't know JLB, I think the cop, GI and probably the construction worker might storm the castle. I was always a little leery of those characters
