An unusually high number (more than 5000) disappeared yesterday.
Given history and then lack of oversight, it is hard not to be suspicious.
But, at least now there is a way to mark things, if someone cared to ask for a reporting.
Maybe.RCI Member Since 24-Aug-1989/150-plus Exchanges***THE TIMESHARE GRIM REAPER~~~Exchanging/Searching/SW Florida/MO/AR/IA/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living/Retirement****Sometimes ya just gotta be a dick

Another strange result today.
My lesser trader increased several thousand since this morning, but my better trader did not.RCI Member Since 24-Aug-1989/150-plus Exchanges***THE TIMESHARE GRIM REAPER~~~Exchanging/Searching/SW Florida/MO/AR/IA/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living/Retirement****Sometimes ya just gotta be a dick

Yeah, they both happen to be July, '09 deposits.
The only thing I can think of is that a filter is preventing me from seeing crappy resorts with the better trader, but I am seeing enough crappy resorts with it alreay that that doesn't makes sense. I have never noticed seeing something with the lesser trader that I can't with the better one.RCI Member Since 24-Aug-1989/150-plus Exchanges***THE TIMESHARE GRIM REAPER~~~Exchanging/Searching/SW Florida/MO/AR/IA/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living/Retirement****Sometimes ya just gotta be a dick

In less than an hour the lesser trader has increased another 2000 while the better trader stayed the same.
I believe they are just doing stuff to play with us.RCI Member Since 24-Aug-1989/150-plus Exchanges***THE TIMESHARE GRIM REAPER~~~Exchanging/Searching/SW Florida/MO/AR/IA/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living/Retirement****Sometimes ya just gotta be a dick

Overnight my better trader lost a couple thousand and the lesser trader stayed the same.
That makes sense, as someone likely skimmed the cream.RCI Member Since 24-Aug-1989/150-plus Exchanges***THE TIMESHARE GRIM REAPER~~~Exchanging/Searching/SW Florida/MO/AR/IA/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living/Retirement****Sometimes ya just gotta be a dick

If you find one, let me know.
I know which ones my lesser trader won't see, from experience, but don't know an easy method to show them.

My lesser trader gained yet another 3000 since this morning, and my better trader stayed the same.
Must be a lot of crappy resorts getting deposited, while better resorts are getting taken.
Or, they're still playing with us.RCI Member Since 24-Aug-1989/150-plus Exchanges***THE TIMESHARE GRIM REAPER~~~Exchanging/Searching/SW Florida/MO/AR/IA/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living/Retirement****Sometimes ya just gotta be a dick

Wow!!! Overnight my lesser trader went up another 6000 and the better trader only went up 1000!!!

At least that makes sense, the better trader going up more than the lesser one.
I'm seeing 31 resorts for S. Gulf Coast. Window is 24 months.
Originally posted by jamstewMine is just the opposite. Better trader went up 6000, weaker one up 1000. I did notice that I still get the same 55-56 Orlando area and 10-12 Southern gulf resorts as before, there are just more unitsRCI Member Since 24-Aug-1989/150-plus Exchanges***THE TIMESHARE GRIM REAPER~~~Exchanging/Searching/SW Florida/MO/AR/IA/Consumer Advocacy/Estate Planning/Sports/Boating/Fishing/Golf/Lake-living/Retirement****Sometimes ya just gotta be a dick

I put some thought into this.
First, for us it is simple. Our good trader sees only crappy resorts, and only if we are lucky, and only way far out, when and where we want to go. Our lesser trader doesn't see any of them.
Now, a couple of hours playing around with a good trader and a lesser trader will disspell many of the lies about trading power, the lies that have been used to put billions of dollars into just a few pockets over the years.
Just look at the numbers for different area, especially those commonly touted as being the great ones, you know the buy here and you can go anywhere, anytime ones.
Like, for Orlando my better trader sees 6182 exchanges and my lesser trader sees 4774, not really that much difference. The lesser trader (I won't describe how crappy it is cuz things you say on the Internet tend to get corrected over time) sees 3 bedroom stuff at OL HIV in peak time.
But, in Southern Gulf Coast, the better trader see 606 and the lesser sees 105, a tremendous differences.
In Mid South, the better trader sees 8209 and the lesser trader sees 6655, not so much difference that you can't get a decent exchange with the lesser trader.
The better trader is a peak season, 2-bedroom Gold Crown, and although the lesser trader cannot see it (it may have been taken), it can see 1-bedroom units the same week at the same resort and 2-bedroom units at comparable resorts the same area the same week.
My conclusion over the years, like in this quick explanation, is that trading power is most notable in the areas/timeframes hardest to get in the first place. It least notable trading into the tradition timeshare powerhouse areas, the ones that have really fueled the industry financially.
