$s Per TPU

The only one I deposit to RCI:

$9.87

The bad thing is you have to prepay maintenance fees and request the time 2 1/2 years before checkin....I will be sending in my 2014 week soon.

How many TPUs for how many $$$?

Wow! This sounds like the good ole days, the trading power tests where everyone would run out and buy what did well.

(well, if just me is considered everyone )

Speaking of which, buying to trade that is, which people still do by the way, as I see what others are paying for their trading power, some of ours are pretty respectful. It looks like the average is around $25.

So, shouldn't there be a market for them . . . to trade with?

Wouldn't you think this information should be, or will be, a selling tool? For the lower ones, it would be a temptation to talk about annual fees, heretofore a taboo subject in the sales presentation.

Hmmmmm!?

Well, never hurts to ask. I have more than enough already, so not going to go out and look for whatever they have though (far be it from me if anyone else does though).

It would however be interesting to know what RCI is considering such a powerful trader and if it is in line with what the rest of the world thinks.

Perhaps this is just a good rental for them!

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

Psst!

I think she's selling it!

What is the point in aiming, if you are not going to aim high!

To get back on topic, this has been a valuable thread for anybody who is evaluating the value of his or her ownership or looking to buy. Having seen stuff going for 15 and 20 TPU, even with the exchange fee and a $25 TPU price that works out to $700. Not bad at all for some of the resorts I have seen come available.

Even for DVC, at 45 TPU's for them, $1325 is much less than what many DVC owners are asking. Yes, for those who are not able to get what they were before the changes are going to be seen as negative. However, on the other side there are now people who are able to obtain previously unattainable trades.

I see that! Good thing I am not in the market. At least you answered my question.

Psst!

Yes - it is a southern california beach week - you have to book the prime summer weeks or it drops off pretty quickly to ~40 (shoulder weeks) then ~25.

I just don't like having to pay so far in advance to reserve a week and I think I am going to get out of RCI all together.

Shhhh, never kiss and tell.


Best one is $9.60 - always deposit
$15.50 - use EOY, rent or deposit SFX other year.
$42.20 - never deposit, always use.

edit - I see she told!

No she didn't. She didn't say Carlsbad Inn, or Blue Whale or Aquamarine Village. If she had, then we would be pulling our hair out (for those who have hair) because after all these years, and this back and forth contention, nothing would have changed.

Even when all goes to hell in a handbasket, there is still an ounce of common sense.

For today, my biggest concern is how to tell the Boston Baked Beans from the red Skittles.

Well, whattya know, a method to my madness, a reason to buy sight-unseen, at Slimey Slough, and never plan on going there. Same as always.
