If you're saying a specific resort that has been sold out for a while is going up in value, I say no possible way, not in my observations.

That makes no logical or economic sense at all, that I can see. Can you think of any logical reason that might happen?

PA,

You may want to take a look at this thread:

I believe that the vast majority of timeshares will depreciate over time.

(1) if you go to the completed Wisconsin auctions and looked at the way the ad was written, except for the seemingly high yearly maintenance fee, there was no indication that this was a CMV UDI Cottage(and not a "pure Oak Timbers UDI which IMHO is worth considerably more for several reasons). The sellers who had this UDI donated to them did not understand how many weeks this ownership can generate each year so that fact was not mentioned in that ebay ad. They did not describe in their ebay ad any of the usage Features, Advantages or Benifits of this ownership.

(2) There was no mention about the low weekly housekeeping fees, etc.

(3) There was no mention that the weeks could be banked with II in addition to the regular RCI Weeks and the RCI Weeks for RCI Points Program (or Points Partners for airline or Disney Tickets, etc)

(4) My snipe bid limit was a fair amount higher than what our winning bid was.

The CMV UDI on ebay last week sold for $2600, that seems a little lower than they used to sell for?

I checked the sale on eBay. It appears as if it was a Christmas Mountain Village UDI. It also appears as if the buyer is CZ.

CZ bought one on eBay early this year for less than $1000. That was also a UDI at Christmas Mountain. After he bought this one he then sold two of his UDI's for about $7000. I stand corrected on the pricing.

There are bargains to be had on eBay. Last week I was involved in doing other things so I wasn't even watching auctions for UDI's. Had I known about this I would have bid higher, but I didn't know. This is one of the beauties of the internet age at this juncture of it's growth: there are opportunities to be had just by monitoring and finding disparate relationships. I wouldn't mind buying something at $3,000 and selling it for $7,000. I can do this all day long.

CZ found a niche whereby he buys undervalued timeshares and knows their values. Buyers who pay prices that insure a profit to him can find additional values.
