10:12:06 AM [Operator] This is Bryan may I help you?
10:12:32 AM [Visitor] I wanted to know if you ever have or do have any Timeshare or points for sale at Inn Seasons Resorts
10:12:50 AM [Visitor] They are in the Northeast
10:13:12 AM [Operator] Do the points have a name or are they just Inn Season Resort points?
10:14:14 AM [Visitor] The "Vacation Club" is through Inn Season Resorts...the one we have been to is in Lincoln NH called Inn Seasons Resort Pollard Brook...they have several between ME, NH, MA
10:14:41 AM [Visitor] they now sell them as Points they used to sell them as traditional time shares
10:16:12 AM [Operator] Okay let me review my current inventory and see if I have any current matches. Can I have your name and email to email you with any matches I might have. Or we can all if you like?
10:16:46 AM [Visitor] If you could email me that would be great.... please do not add me to any additional email lists
10:17:00 AM [Operator] I sure wont.
10:17:19 AM [Visitor] thanks
10:17:31 AM [Operator] I was going to ask if you wanted on our own personal newsletter list that we do not sell or rent but I will skip that question.
10:17:43 AM [Operator] First name?
10:17:55 AM [Visitor] I would not mind being notified on any sales for the Inn Seasons Resort if they come up at a later time
10:18:25 AM [Operator] We will only contact you with matches for that
10:18:36 AM [Operator] Just curious have you ever looked at RCI points?
10:18:54 AM [Visitor] no not really
10:19:04 AM [Visitor] is that buying points directly through RCI
10:19:31 AM [Operator] Well I normally have 10 points packages in stock on any given week.
10:19:55 AM [Operator] These packages are small to big and came to us though people that had lifestyle chagnes
10:20:10 AM [Operator] I have been doing tutorials on youtube for months helping people understand them
10:20:26 AM [Visitor] you can send me some info on that if you want...I would need to figure out how they trade to Inn Seasons Points...I know that Inn Seasons uses Interval I assume they use both but not really sure
10:21:03 AM [Operator] Okay the other thing to do is to look at the resorts at RCI.com and see if there points resorts are in the area you like to vacation
10:21:33 AM [Visitor] We live in Maine and are looking for something mostly in NH not to travel to far......have small kids now. May trade for further away down the road but mostly looking in the Lincoln NH area
10:22:05 AM [Visitor] will check out RCI site....and will look at info you send me
10:22:08 AM [Operator] http://www.rci.com/RCI/RCIW/RCIW_index?body=RCIW_rdMain&client=RCI&gatewayURL=/RDGateway/RCI_RDGIndex?body=RCI_RDGSearchResults&sid=0.8422196985977555&Ne=4294942695+4294945349+4294966866+1125+34&Ns=P_ResortName&N=4294942516&client=RCI&showMap=true&body=RCI_RDGSearchResults&showMap=true
10:22:09 AM [Visitor] thanks for your help
10:22:15 AM [Operator] your welomce
10:22:27 AM [Operator] here is a interactive map of resorts in your area
10:22:41 AM [Visitor] looking now thanks
10:23:51 AM [Operator] http://www.rci.com/RCI/RCIW/RCIW_index?body=RCIW_rdMain&client=RCI&gatewayURL=/RDGateway/RCI_RDGIndex?body=RCI_RDGSearchResults&sid=0.8422196985977555&sid=0.3567437813398556&sid=0.47171820670542086&Ne=4294942695+4294945349+4294966866+1125+34&Ns=P_ResortName&N=4294942512&client=RCI&showMap=false
10:24:02 AM [Operator] okay the trick is if it says RCI points then you can use points
10:24:34 AM [Operator] and it takes around 50K for a week vacation but you can use points to go as few as one night if you need to
10:24:35 AM [Visitor] okay cool...checking now on that site
10:25:50 AM [Operator] www.youtube.com/bkwatson I have some videos. When your read email me at bryan@emidsouthinc.com or call me at 417-297-0094 and I can give you some better ideas of what might work best for your family
10:26:00 AM [Visitor] does Interval having anything similar?
10:26:16 AM [Operator] no points yet but they are working on it
10:26:20 AM [Visitor] ok thanks
10:26:27 AM [Visitor] Inn Seasons not on RCI list
10:27:42 AM [Operator] Yes the closest thing I could do for you today in that regard is find a very inexpensive II resort to own that you could bank the week and trade into Inn Seasons
10:27:50 AM [Operator] I have a II demo on youtube too
10:27:59 AM [Visitor] ok i will look at info thanks again

11:59:15 AM [Operator] This is Bryan may I help you?
11:59:49 AM [Lori] good morning, i am bidding on one of the auctions and have a question about the difference between rci point or weeks membership
12:00:12 PM [Lori] do i choose or is it prechosen depending on the auction?
12:00:45 PM [Operator] all ads are based on a ownership at one resort
12:01:11 PM [Operator] A week onwership will let you either go to that resort or bank the week with RCI
12:01:23 PM [Operator] a points membership will let you go to any points resort
12:01:35 PM [Lori] what is the most popular?
12:02:05 PM [Operator] Tough one. Do you like to vacation on one area?
12:02:10 PM [Operator] kids?
12:02:53 PM [Lori] we have kids and i was thinking that we would go the resort that the auction is for and then decide from there what to do for the years after
12:03:57 PM [Operator] okay either path has a lot of flexibility
12:04:30 PM [Operator] was there one ebay item in particular that caught your eye?
12:05:14 PM [Lori] yes, and i am currently bidding on it. it is the one for wyndham fairbanks
12:05:50 PM [Operator] item number?
12:05:58 PM [Lori] one moment
12:06:40 PM [Lori] Item number: 250403489039
12:08:12 PM [Operator] Okay this one your use would start next year but until then you can join RCI and get some awesome prices on vacations this year
12:09:09 PM [Lori] i was checking out the rci site and was just confused about the points or weeks membership. i don't know which one i would choose
12:09:36 PM [Operator] well I can tell you you will not get a more affordable way to own a timeshare than this
12:09:43 PM [Lori] we may find that we want to go back to this one every year or might decide to try different places instead
12:09:53 PM [Operator] let me direct you to a couple of my youtube videos
12:10:03 PM [Lori] ok
12:10:20 PM [Lori] so there is no difference between the two memberships?
12:10:21 PM [Operator] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n--Zigifajo&feature=channel_page
12:11:02 PM [Operator] Points are different. You get so many points a year to use. I have a points demo too
12:11:23 PM [Lori] this will be our first timeshare and i want to make the most out of it :)
12:11:56 PM [Operator] These videos will really help you understand the power of being a Timeshare/RCI owner
12:12:39 PM [Lori] ok thanks. i understand that if we don't want to go during our week we can rent it out somehow also?
12:13:02 PM [Operator] This one will show you what do with your week if you decide not to use the week and you spacebank it with RCI
12:13:04 PM [Operator] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yFLXEXk_O8&feature=channel_page
12:13:49 PM [Lori] perfect. i will watch them and then message back if i have more questions

Why do we market timeshare on eBay Canada?

Q: I am considering making a bid, but why am I signing into Ebay Canada? Seems unusual. Hi It just seems unusual that this listing is with Ebay CA, since the property, myself, and I assume you, are all in the US. I am just trying to be cautious and watchful. Thanks for your reply--

A: Sure...yes, all that we mention is in the U.S., but so many of our buyers are in Canada, that it pays for us to market there for a couple reasons--exposure and the listing fee structure is often more advantageous on eBay CA. We started doing this more prevalently in January. Hopefully our feedback makes you feel more secure. I know that anything connected to an "e" business is hard to get a handle on sometimes. If there is anything I can answer that would make you more comfortable, I am happy to do that. Best regards-

TimeShare 2BR ORANGE LAKE 4TH OF JULY ORLANDO FLORIDA

Q: Hi Bryan. We have a 2 br unit, week 26 at Orange Lake North Village that we paid $2,700 on Ebay including transfer and closing costs. Your minimum price of $2,995 for this week 27 is about $1,000 too high. Would you consider a lower price?

A: Thank you for the question. I want to ask you a question. Do you think if I was walking around OLCC today and I said I have this week for sale for 3000 dollars people would even believe me? I priced this in the eBay price range because I am on eBay and have been for 9 years. The truth is my inventory is exposed to 5 different websites and this is the lowest of the 5 prices. I believe this is going to sell for 4995 on another site very soon. So I need to keep where I am for now. As you know this is a very tough week to find. Especially a normal 4th of July week. I would bet someone is going to hit the buy it now by Sunday. I hope for your sake I am wrong. I wish you well on all your vacation needs and I do have over 300 timshares in inventory. So I do have something for everyone's budget. So please let me know what else would help your vacation portfolio.

Best Regards,

Kathy

Timeshare 2BR S Carolina 5 STAR Myrtle Beach GOLD CROWN

Q: I am writing to inform you that a mistake has been made concerning the bidding on this timeshare. My children accessed my Ebay account and had a field day bidding on different timeshares. I am asking that you PLEASE release me from the bid placed on this timeshare. I truly apologize for any inconvenience that it has caused. They bid on several and I am scrambling to contact each one. Again, I'm very sorry and thank you for your understanding. Sincerely and humbly,

A: I have removed your bid. In the 10 years I have been selling timeshares I have found if someone in the family is bidding on timeshares they are doing so with the best of intentions. eMidsouth has been selling timeshares at or below Wholesale for a very long and and is the most affordable way to vacation. Please take the time to review my information on wholesaletimeshare.com and see how little money it really takes to take a family vacation. Its sounds like someone really needs one. You all probably do. I wish you and yours well.

Best Regards,

The Value of Buying RCI Points Resale

Q: Is there any flexibility in the weeks of use, or is use restricted to these specific weeks.Please explain the reservation and points system.

A: This ownership has already been converted to RCI points which is the ultimate of flexibility in how you use your week. There is a chart in the ad that shows you how many points you would need to stay at the various times of the year, and for different sizes.

With this package, for instance, you could stay peak season in the 2BR unit...that requires 68,000 points. This package is an Annual Package that awards 77,499.

As a points owner, you would have advance reservation privileges because it's your home resort. But in extension, this having been converted to a points ownership (this conversion is several thousand dollars), you can use these points at any RCI resort. Points is an incredibly powerful ownership that RCI members love.

If you scroll down in the ad, we have a list of benefits of points ownership. It really depends on the kind of vacations you like to take. Folks I know that finally own points never go back to weeks ownership.Happy to answer other questions.

Wyndham Points

Q: Does it matter which resort you purchase your points at (Ocean Front compared with inland?) I've heard that can change things for RCI exchanges, but is there any truth to it?If I don't plan on making a lot of RCI exchanges or concerned about making advance reservations at my "home resort" does it matter where my deed is?Thanks

A: With purchasing points from Wyndham, it doesn't matter what your home resort is in terms of reservations with points. It only matters if you do want to reserve at your home resort. It'll get you 13 month advance reservations (10 months for everyone else).

Most Wyndham owners exchange within Wyndham, so in that sense, points are points. If you want to go outside of Wyndham and want to exchange with RCI, you'll call Wyndham and bank enough points to get you where you want to go. So if you want a week in Hawaii, they'll bank enough points to get you the strongest exchange power with RCI, say 180K or more (depending on the parameters you set for yourself, like season/size, etc.).

The advantage of us combining this package is that you'll likely have VIP status with Wyndham. With resale, they will not tell you this--but once your transferred they'll most likely upgrade you and this gives you advance check in, and discounts, etc. This is just an added bonus.Finally, I am happy to give you a call if you would like to just talk about options. I'll answer all that I can, and find out what I may not be certain about. I can say that with this amount of points, you'll be able to go anywhere you want to go. This is an incredible package...I think you'll be very happy with the end result and what kind of vacations this gets you.

Timeshare RED FLOAT SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA RESERVATION

Q: you should really double check this. your own listing confirms that see the sea has Thursday check in. i know this anyway because i own a mrop week.

A: It is Friday check in. That is the only check in day. Look at this RCI link and even they confirm it. Hope this helps.

TimeShare 2 BDR CELEBRITY PALM COAST FLORIDA GOLF

Q: My seventeen year old daughter bid on your auction. We can not purchase this auction. We can not afford this at this time. Please accept our apoliges for this inconvience. I wanted to give you as much notice as possible. Maybe we can do business in the future when we are better suited financally. thank you. Have a good day.

A: I have canceled your bid. You might want to check out my youtube videos about timeshares. www.youtube.com/bkwatson It might help you understand how owning a timeshare at our prices is the cheapest way possible to vacation. And if you have a family member trying to purchase vacation ownership they it might be a good thing to consider. You will never regret making great memories with your family. You will only regret not making great memories. Have a nice weekend.

Educational eMail Reply

Hi Joe,

It was great talking to you this afternoon. There is so much information to share, especially since you are not familiar with timeshares. As I told you on the phone, I don't want to just sell you a timeshare, I want to help you find the perfect vacation for your family. Now, in order to make an informed decision, allow me to educate you a bit on timeshares and how all of this works. To make this easier we have a bunch of videos on You Tube that will explain it all much better then I can do it here. So I will let you take some time to watch those and then I will show you some of the available timeshares we have.

New Last Call / Extra Vacations Tutorial Help RCI members/ Timeshare Owners

Now once you have watched the videos, you should have a little better idea about how all of this works. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. Another thing you will want to do is go to RCI, www.rci.com and look around. If you click on Resort Directory, you can see all of the resorts that are a part of RCI. Now when you are looking at a resort, if you see the RCI Points logo, when you scroll down there will be a link that will tell you the points for that resort. You can use points to stay at a weeks resort and a basic chart is used to determine the number of points for those. I would be happy to send you a copy of that chart. Remember there are Last Call Vacations for points and the weeks are 9,000 points or less.

What you need to decide now is which is better for you? A Floating week? Points? I have the following resorts available for floating weeks in the Disney Orlando Area. If you go to the RCI Resort Directory and put in the RCI Number it will bring up the resort information. All of these I am showing you are 2 bedrooms and will sleep at least 6.

5109	Orbit One Vacation Villas	Kissimmee	FL
4300	Grand Lake Resort	Kissimmee	FL
3654	Villas at Fortune Place	Kissimmee	FL
0450	Sheraton Vistana Resort	Orlando	FL

Now if you decide that points are the way you want to go, you need to decide what number of points you would like to own. Remember, you can always add to your points portfolio. Also, it does not really matter where the home resort for the points are, because points are treated the same.

I have given you a bit of information to read and learn from. I am happy to answer any questions. You can reach me during the day, usually between 10:30 AM - 4:30 PM at 417-334-0892. In the evenings after 6 PM you can reach me at 901-347-0713. I look forward to hearing from you and to working with you to find the perfect timeshare for your family.

Timeshare 84,000 FAIRFIELD Wyndham Points Virginia

Q: I am interested in this bid. I have gone through the Wyndham Discovery program, so am familiar with the program. I am concerned about how the auction can be so cheap? Isn't this a $15k+ value? Things that seem too good to be true often are. Can I call Wyndham direct to check that all of this is truly transferrable? Can't the points be used at any Wyndham or RCI resort? Can I add points through Wyndham after purchasing? Thanks

A:
I have been selling points like this on eBay for over 8 years and it truly is sad that the resale market is not better. I have enough points inventory for most likely all your points needs.

I tried to briefly explain what a timeshare is. Explained by Bryan Watson from eMidsouth and Wholesaletimeshare.com

Monarch Grand Vacations POINTS

Q:Looking for more info such as which week is the ownership for, how big in terms of sq. footage, if maintenance fee is paid on usage year only and closing costs, etc. I am new to the timeshare market so any details you can provided will be very helpful.

A:

I am happy to answer questions. This is a biennial, even year, ownership that awards 133 points. It's a ownership to Monarch Grand Vacations, which has its own elite, internal exchange program. MF's are paid quarterly ($104.07), so basically, the cost for your week every two years is a little over $800 (you can also break up your stays). We'll collect the first quarter, and one time fees to transfer ownership are Closing costs of $345 and the resort transfer fee is $100.

Their web site might be helpful for you to get a sense of the resorts. https://www.monarchgrandvacations.com I am looking for square footage on the web site, and don't see it, but they do have floor plans for each resort. There are many different kinds of ownership; it really depends on what kind of vacationing you like to do. Any additional information you'd like to give me will assist in finding a match. I should say, though, that these resorts are very, very nice and have quite a bit of flexibility in terms of internal exchange, and require no exchange fee to do so. They also enjoy great day-use privileges, so if you live close, it works out nicely.

Happy to answer further questions.

Ownership details are below, as well as what the ownership gives you.

Vacation Ownership Points:

* Points are awarded every two years for use anytime within the next 24 months * Use at any Monarch Grand Vacations resort * Full weeks or mini-vacations * Reserve 12 months ahead for 7 or more days * Reserve 9 months ahead for 6 or fewer days * Villa size and season vary with # points * Example: o 155 points is a week at a two bedroom during platinum season o 133 is week at one bedroom during red season.

Trading:

* World-wide trades via Interval International. (You can join II for an annual fee) * You reserve a week at any MGV resort then deposit that week for a trade with II.

Monarch Escape Time:

* Unlimited extra rental nights at an owner-preferred rate * Short-notice, one to four night reservations * Use at any Monarch Grand Vacations resort * Accommodations over and above Vacation Ownership Points

Day Use:

* Any Monarch Grand Vacations resort * Dawn to dusk use of swimming pools, owners’ lounges and all common area facilities

Point Roll-Over, Banking or Borrowing:

There is no roll-over, banking or borrowing of points. The logic is that a two-year use period provides ample opportunity for owners to utilize their points. The alternative is to make full week reservation with Monarch Grand Vacations and then deposit with Interval International thereby extending the opportunity for use beyond 24 months.

Winter Garden Florida Timeshare / Liki Tiki Village (200311263749)

Q.
Tell me more of this "excape clause" for phase 1 units. How does that work. Will they be replacing the townhouses with multi-story units then? What happens to the owners in phase 1? I have stayed in the townhomes before on an II getaway and liked them very much. Let me know.

A.
An escape clause is usually found in coastal areas and was started as protection for the owners in case of natural disasters. At the time of the expiration there will be a vote to decide whether to continue the resort as a timeshare resort. If so you can expect them to extend it 10-30 years. It will not change what you own and it will not change the units.

Questions from other members : 154,000 Wyndham Points Las Vegas Timeshare Nevada

Q: 
We have 2 Wyndham time shares, one at the Grand Desert and one in Sedona. We are currently VIP members. Both purchases were from Wyndham so we are not experienced in buying from another seller. We are very interested in your Grand Desert offering, but want to be sure that it would be a smooth transaction and recognized by Wyndham when we make reservations etc. Thanks you, Sue Chapin resue1@suechapin.com
Feb-05-09

A: 
Sue, Wyndham knows my company eMidsouth very well. We do around 10 points packages a month with them. This will go very smooth. Just keep in mind they take 60 to 90 days to complete the transfer in their system. Kind Regards, Bryan Watson bryan@emidsouthinc.com

A: 
It could be for sure. Take a look at my point chart in my ad and it will show you how many points it takes to stay for a week in a three bedroom and what time of year you can do it. You can also tell the resort 13 months in advance that you want your week and you use the week 50 and skip you points use. I also have a youtube demo on how to use points. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVOSc2gNHBk Please let me know if you have any more questions. Points are a great way to vacation.

Florida Disney Family Fun Timeshare / Oak Plantation

Q:
I have a similar timeshare, deeded unit 1405, week 52. I want to sell it. I own it outright. 2009 maint is paid. What will you charge me to perform the auction and handle the closing of sale? Any other vehicles for listing other/including eBay? I bought this unit on eBay over five years ago. Thank you, Larry

A:
Thank you for considering using eMidsouth for your Timeshare Listing or Timeshare Donation needs. Unfortunately, at this current time, we are not able to accept new listings or donations for resale. After a long process of evaluating our resale program, it is evident that in terms of timeliness and profitability, the current model has not proven efficient or effective. As a result, we are excited to have created a new program that I believe is the best solution for people undergoing a lifestyle change, and no longer have a need for their timeshare. Please visit www.donewithtime.com to read about our new program. If you feel this is the best solution for you we are happy to help and always available to answer questions, especially those that will help you compare other programs on the market who might charge up-front fees or the like. We take pride in specializing in timeshare, and are confident we can serve you. Thank you for your interest, Jennifer Sluppick

Q:
Hi. Am I understanding this correctly? I pay you money, and you take my timeshare? I don't owe anything on it. How could this possibly make sense? Forgive me if I'm being dense. Thanks, Larry

A:
This is for people who just don't want their timeshare any longer. We used to do this differently. With the way the economy has been it was no longer considered doable. Most people do not realize that the resale value of their timeshare is very low. Pennies on the dollare of what they paid. When those people try to sell it and cannot get rid of it they are still paying fees on something they no longer wish to own. We offer a service. You can try to sell it on your own or you can see if you can get the resort to buy it back. Done with time is for people who have tried their options. Thank you for your interest, Jennifer Sluppick

Q:
Thank you for your explanation. Wow... But, if I pay several hundreds of dollars in fees, and I turn over a deed, who gets the deed? This sounds like an opportunity to collect a bunch of deeds (without paying even the transaction fees for title transfers, etc). Am I understanding this correctly? In other words, people are considering the value of these things as basically garbage (an economics teacher once explained garbage as something you pay to have removed). But in the long run these won't be garbage. True, they were never worth what people paid the developers for them, but they aren't worth nothing. (Of course, if your business model proves itself, then that is proof they are garbage.) Perhaps week 11 in Michigan might be pretty crappy, but are they all really garbage? Thanks again for the enlightenment. Larry

A:
Larry, Done with Time is a last resort. The first thing you should do is attempt to sell it on your own. There are other venues besides eBay where that can be done. If you do a search on the prices timeshare are selling for you will see that many sell for just a few dollars. It all depends on where they are located and how much in demand they are. You can put what ever price tag you want on something, but in the end it is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. We used to have people give us their timeshares simply so they could get out from under the annual fees. The problem was we had to find buyers for them or we would have the annual fees to pay. In many cases we spent hundreds of dollars in fees to find a new buyer, only to sell it for much less then what we spent. It did not take too long to realize that if there is more money going out then is coming in, the business does not survive. We stopped doing that, but still had lots of people coming to us wanting our help. The reason there are fees is because that covers what it will eventually cost us to sell the timeshare. Fees on eBay are $75 to $130 PER auction. Most timeshares do not sell on their first auction. So it adds up quickly, and that does not even take into consideration the man hours involved. Done with Time does not collect deeds. Deeds come along with annual fees. The object is to find new buyers. The problem is that it is costly to do, thus if someone wants the deed out of their name we charge them for that service. Best of luck to you in finding a buyer for your timeshare. If you have any other questions please let me know. Best Regards, Jennifer Sluppick

Q:
wow again! Can't someone just stop paying the fees, and eventually the resort would take over the deed? And then wouldn't you just "lose" it without having to pay to transfer the deed? This is fascinating! Larry

A:
In most cases no. A maintenance fee is a contracted legal obligation that you enter into when you purchase a timeshare. If you stop paying the maintenance fee the first thing that happens is the account is put into collections. Eventually the resort would foreclose on the deed for the unpaid maintenance fees. That is one of the biggest misconceptions that some people have. They will stop paying the annual fees and then when they get a notice from the collection agency they are floored. That is when they scramble to get it sold, or at least get it out of their name. That is where Done With Time can become a valuable service for them. If they have exhausted all avenues in selling it and the resort will not take the deed back, this is a way that they can pay a fee and be guaranteed that the deed be taken out of their name. That way once the deed is out of their name they no longer are obligated to pay the annual fees. Best Regards, Jennifer Sluppick

Understanding RCI's Points for Deposit Program

Here's one way we tried to explain RCI's GREAT program for Points owners!

Q: I'm wanting to purchase this however I don't quite understand weeks for deposit to points conversion, you mentioned there is a fee to that. My wife and I travel to Virgina A LOT and we know points are great as well...My brother owns a small points package RCI. What would be the conversion fee$$ to exchange this week for points. My bros. owns rci points and says "he loves it"

A: For points owners, this property would allow you to "bank" points [Williamsburg Plantation]. So, in other words, if you owned points, you could bank up to 120,000 points into your account. For non-points owners, this is simply a 4BR lock-off, fixed week with annual use...I thought I'd send you an example of how you could do this. Here is a listing that my colleague is running: 250351409302

This is a EOY Odd points ownership with very low fees. Using this as your base points account, you could use The Williamsburg as a 2BR, bank the other side as points, and have about 60K to use, plus your other points award in odd years. Does that make sense?

I am really glad you're asking these questions because not very many people know about how to be strategic in this way, and it is an INCREDIBLY affordable and smart way to get get into points.

Researching Timeshare Resorts, Florida or anyhwere!

Q: Hi. I am looking for a timeshare in the Florida Keys region. Not sure I would buy one, but I am interested in looking into it.

How do you find out if the timeshare is a stable place? How do you find out the fees Monthly/yearly involved?

A: You may have seen the one I am running-Gulf Tides of Longboat Key (eBay Item number 220339194155). This trades with both RCI and Interval Int'l, and you may get a good selection of reviews that way. The codes are in the ad (Exchange Company Codes RCI and II - GTL (Red Week), RCI - 0582 (Red Week)

Every resort has a different fee--they are generally paid annually, but again, it depends.

Happy to give you a call to further help if I can.

Shenendoah Valley VIRGINIA SPRING 2 Bedroom TIMESHARE

Q: 
Do you know haw many points with RCI this Unit is worth?? How long does it take B4 we can use? 60 days?
Jan-04-09

A: 
Are you asking how many points a current RCI points owner could deposit this for? This is not a RCI points resort so the only way this could be points is if a RCI points owner banked this as points into their points account. Its called points for program. www.rcipointsportfolio.com has more information about that.

105K EOY FAIRFIELD/ Wyndham Points S Carolina Timeshare

Q: 
does the points go towards vip status??? i was told that if you buy points from another individual that it will NOT count as vip...is that true?
Jan-03-09

A: 
It depends on how many points you bought from the developer etc. It could happen but dont count on it. But at prices over 90 percent less than what you could buy from Wyndham its easy to understand why people dont care either way.

The total that I would have to pay out for this timeshare would be the $999.....no additional money for closing costs or transfer costs?

That is correct!! a special RCI membership is included in the Main fees. So no extra money needed there either. Kind Regards, Bryan

Combining Points and Weeks Ownership with RCI

Q: It says in your ad (for inventory purposes only) does this mean I can go anywhere else in the world? Can I buy more points? I was just wondering how this works? My sister just bought (at a resort) 2 weeks with 4 "bonus" weeks. How do your points compare to that? Thanks for your time. Dec-04-08

A: Yes! The benefit of points is that you can use your points anywhere and it's perhaps more than a week's ownership, this is the whole "point" of points... The points are used within RCI's worldwide network (the biggest exchange network out there). You will always hold the deed to this particular property, and should you ever just want to defer to what is deeded you can let RCI know (I can explain that more if you like). This is an every other year award, and the bonus is that that this purchase includes 69,500 points free...and then your next award will be in 2010. From there on out, you'll receive 69,500 points every even year. You can bank points up to two years as well, and you can borrow from future years. It's INCREDIBLY flexible and people love this about points ownership. Additionally, if the resort that you just purchase from is NON-POINTS resort, you can bank one of your weeks as points, and add to your account. Finally, in terms of "bonus time" through RCI, if you can look at availability in their network within 45 days of travel, and book at "Extra Vacation" for 9,000 points. This may be a great combination for you...happy to answer any further questions.

168K Wyndham Points Bonnet Creek, FloridaTimeshare

Bryan, I am interested in the Wyndham Bonnet Creek Timeshare, and have gone through the presentation at Wyndham, but would like to ask a few questions before taking this property.
1. This property does not have a mortgage balance, does it?

No it does not

2. I have seen on some other Wyndham properties that people are saying that Wyndham charges you $129.00 for the reservation. I was under the impression you only used the points to reserve a property. Can you let me know about this?

The only thing I know about is you only get so many maid credits with your points so if you use a bunch of tiny reservations you might need to purchase some maid credits. I can’t remember the price of those.

3. Even though this is a biennial property and cannot be used at the home property until 2010, can you utilize the points at another property in 2009 with paying with points?

Your points are awarded Jan 2010. That is when you will first be able to use your points.

4. So basically you are getting 84000 points per year and can borrow up to 84000 points against next years?

They have set it up to have 168 on the even years. I do not believe you can borrow in advance.

5. I am assuming this is a deeded property and can be left to someone in an estate?

Yes it is deeded property

6. Are the RCI yearly fees included in this, or do I have to contact RCI and purchase that yearly?

RCI account is included.

We appreciate such comments from our former customers!

In response to a question about another property, our customer said:

"Thank you. Your company is a class act. I am waiitng for a deed transfer on a property purchased in Hilotn Head. I like this one very much but prefer a view unit."

Learn more about RCI's Points for Deposit Program

See the below post to better understand how people are thinking about RCI points timeshare ownership.

Q: It seems this is not points ownership. It only gives you the ability to deposit points or weeks. Is that correct? Please clarify. I own both points & 1 week timeshare. I am looking to lower my maintaince so I want to figure how to best do that. My 2 points timeshare give me only 20,000 points each a year while my maintaince on those is @ $850.00 too high for the amount of points I get.In addition I have one houseboat timeshare red week but maintaince is $650.00 If you have any sugestions I am open to it.How can above advertised timeshare help?

A: Well, as a point account holder, this weeks ownership can be "banked" as points-this fixed week bank at 52,500 points annually (It's RCI's Points for Deposit Program). This nice thing about a fixed week is that you can count on banking easily without needing to reserve first. The MF for that is only $416.00, which is a ratio you really cannot beat. You would need to keep at least one of your points ownerships in order for the combo to work--this would give you 72K+ for what I am guessing would be less MF than what you have right now-a nice package. Additionally, we just put all of our inventory on sale a couple of hours a go for two days--20% off :)

There are folks on eBay that sell, or if you just wanted to be done with one of your points ownerships, we can deed to us in program we call www.donewithtime.com That is an option you can check out.

Do you want to keep all of them? I do have other Points for Deposit properties--one that banks for 120K, & MF is $1132; the central question is how many points to do you need to get the vacation that you want each year (that item number is 370116417875)

This Arkansas piece is a pefect middle ground in terms of MF and purhcase price.

Q: I don't understand how this work. Hope you can give me some explanation. If I buy this item, do I only buy the RCI point or the time share property? If only point, why need closing cost? Nov-15-08

A: The RCI points are tied into a deeded property. All RCI points are. You would have a deed and you would get your RCI points. The 699 is including all costs. I really am paying for the closing costs. 699 is all you payp.

is the maintenance bi-annual? are the taxes bi-annual?

A:
The Main fees are half the normal price of annual and are every month. And the taxes are half the yearly amount and are due every year.

Learn about RCI's Points for Deposit Program

Q: are you saying that if i deposit the week into rci i get 34,500 rci points? if i own another rci weeks account, can i combine the weeks and convert them both into rci points? is the week annual and can i convert to 34,500 rci points annually? is the rci account included or is there another fee for that? what is my bottom line annual cost including maintenance and rci fees?

A: Thanks for your question. The Points for Deposit program is for RCI Points account holders to take a weeks ownership and basically bank it as POINTS. Are you a Points member?

This is a NON-POINTS resort; Points for Deposit can only be done with non-points resorts, and is decided on a year to year basis, as is traditional banking. You can deposit as points year after year (and in this way, not pay the high conversion fee). This is an annual week, so yes, you could bank as 34,500 points annually.

If you aren't a Points account holder currently, there are some inexpensive routes to go that would give you a high number of points to use each year (i.e buy a points account and a weeks account, making your total MF extremely affordable). I am happy to give you a call. This can be a little confusing. Kind regards--

Grand Seas Resort Timeshare Daytona Beach Florida

Q:
So this deed would be good only at this resort and for a week every other year, is that correct? thanks!!

A:
Yes that is correct. This deed is good for one week every other year. This works out well for a lot of people. Not everyone can make a vacation every year and this offers a wonderful alternative to the annual use timeshares. If you are looking for an annual use just let me know we have a vast inventory and I will be able to point you in the right direction.
Thank you for your interest, Jennifer Gall

MORRITT'S GRAND Cayman Island 2-BR Oceanfront TIMESHARE

 

Testimonial:

“We purchased a timeshare at Morritt’s Grand Resort in Grand Cayman on Ebay from eMidsouth. The communication and paperwork was immediate and courteous. An online status website allowed us to follow the progress step by step.  Bottom line: The transfer was completed and we had a vacation booked in THREE weeks.  Thanks to eMidsouth and Wholesale Time Share for putting us ‘on the beach’ so quickly.”

I have left positive feedback.

Let us know if you come across any ‘just get rid of it deals’ for 2 bedroom oceanfront at any of the Morritts resorts.  We have enough at the moment, but would consider another week if it was very inexpensive (very).

Regards,

Doug

154,000 FAIRFIELD/Wyndham Bonnet Creek, FL Timeshare

Question & Answer
Answered On

Q: 
Hi Bryan, I just bought 167000 points about 3 weeks ago for Bonnet Creek, IT COST ME $25000... now seeing your ads I got screwed!!! I don't know what to do. I'd like to sell mine and buy something from you. I NEED HELP!!! any suggestions?
Oct-07-08

A: 
I am told that resale does not have the same benefits as retail. I would call them and ask them if you buy more points resale if you are allowed to combine them. That will take down your price per point dramatically. If they so know I might be inclined to complain until they say yes.

Q: 
I have a Wyndham timeshare already with 168,000 points every odd year and I was wondering if you can combine the points for use. Also can I use this for vip status.How are you able to sell this timeshare so cheap. One last thing is there anything else that I need to know about this timeshare.
Oct-05-08

A: 
Wyndham is very funny about resale VIP. It could happen but I would not count on it. I am selling this timeshare for a couple that had a lifestyle change. I priced it to be the best price on ebay for Bonnet Creek in order to generate a quick sale.

Q: 
So, I will own this timeshare outright for the terms of 154,000 point every other year plus normal maint. fees and I will receive a deed for the property as such the outlined terms mentioned?
Oct-04-08

A: 
That is completely correct.

Q: 
When will the first taxes and maintanience fees be due? Are there any payments owed for back taxes or maintanience by the original owner? Thank you
Oct-02-08

A: 
This is free and clear and your first Main fees and taxes will not be due until Jan 2010 when your point use begins

Q:
Does this property have value as "Sun Options" points within the 19 Florida Trust properties or with Diamond Resorts? If so, how many?

A:
Florida trust properties are not deeded to a specific property. Florida trust will specifically state points as they are the only sun options that are transferrable. This is a deeded property and it is not a part of the Florida Trust. Thank you for your interest, Jennifer Gall

154,000 FAIRFIELD/Wyndham Branson Missouri Timeshare

 

Q: 
Do have ONE more question. At what point does Ownership happen? Upon payment? Closing? Deed transfer? Deed Recording? Thank you.
Sep-30-08

A: 
As soon as Wyndham transfers it. Total process 6 to 9 weeks.

Q: 
Maintenance is indicated at $68.21 monthly -- is the Annual less or is it equal to 12 times the amount given? Is there a limitation on the use of the points (i.e., used for a minimum of two days at a time)? Are the cost given the actual cost or are there others (i.e., hidden). I'm really interested, but I have to scrutinize closely based on my financial status. You do realize that Wallstreet is having some severe problems and money is going to become quite tight. Sid Camp
Sep-30-08

A: 
Annual I believe works out to be the same either way if its paid monthly or annually. There are no limits on use. I believe my Wholesale Timeshares will be more important than ever for people looking to vacation as economically as possible.

Q: 
Do have a few more questions. At what point does Ownership happen? Upon payment? Closing? Deed transfer? Deed Recording? Does Ownership include the use of RCI? Is there a membership fee incurred? Thank you.
Sep-30-08

A: 
It takes around 6 to 10 weeks for all deed and title and transfer work to be done. At that time it will be available for your use. RCI membership is included in the Main fees.

Getting the best reservation!

Q: Are the reservations first come first served?

A: ... Yes, reservations are first first come, first serve and no one has any priority over another. I always tell our customers to pay your annual MF as early as the resort will allow you to. As soon as you pay your maintenance fees (you can pay before they are actually due--a couple of months ahead for most resorts) you can make your reservation for the following year. By doing this, customers say the have their top pick of weeks. Hope this helps. Kind regards, emidsouthinc

154,000 FAIRFIELD/Wyndham Bonnet Creek, FL Timeshare

 

Q: 
Hi, I went to a Wyndham presentation recently and am not familiar with purchasing resale ones. I have a few questions. 1. Is this one deeded for life? or does the deed expire after a certain time frame. 2. Why is this one and other resale ones I have seen online cost a lot less than the ones being offered at the Wyndham presentations. What are the benefits of purchasing a resale one vs purchasing one directly from the developer? Are there privileges that we can't get through resale ones that we would get if we purchased directly from the developer? 3. How long are these points good for. Do unused points expire? If so, in how long? 4. This being biennial even, does this mean I can only use it on even years or can the points be used at anytime as long as I have the points available? I apologize for all the questions but just find this offer a real good deal based on ones offered during the Wyndham presentation we went to. Thanks, Neil
Sep-24-08

A: 
yes its deeded for life. Wyndham say that they will not let resale points go towards VIP status. That is the only downside that I know of. When your points are issued you have a year to use them or make a reservation and bank the use. You can use the points on the odd or even year. They are just awarded on the even year. Kind Regards, Bryan

Q: 
we are already Platnium Owners can we add these points and use them under our platnuim status?
Sep-24-08

A: 
Hmm. You can try. I know Wyndham is really making it hard on any resales regardless of them not offering a buyback program. Go figure. All I can really say is at this price it might be worth a try just to see what happens. If it does not work out you can always sell to a friend or family member at this price.

128,000 WYNDHAM FAIRFIELD POINTS TIMESHARE Orlando, FL

Q: 
Good-morning, Can you tell me more about the golf privileges associated with this timeshare please. Thank you.
Sep-22-08

A: 
Talked with Megan in the Activities Dept. The resort only has a Driving Range which is open from 8:30-Noon and 2-4pm. There is a complimentary bucket of balls at 8:30 and then it's $2 a small bucket and $3 a large bucket. Playing on area golf courses can be arranged through the concierge. There are certain golf courses that will give the resort owners discounts. The courses closer to the resort are going to be more expensive due to their close location to Disney attractions. Courses that are a little farther out will be cheaper. Some courses have weekly specials. Prices can range from $38 and up. Prices are also affected by the weather with cooler weather bringing higher prices. The concierge at the resort can answer all questions.

10,000 Annual Bluegreen Points, 2008 Usage

Q.   Hi, we are currently Bluegreen owners and would like to add points. Can we combine the maintenance fees, not just add them together? Or do you know? Thanks.
A.   T. Wilson~ This is a deed for 10,000 points annual at Solara Surfside. If you wish to combine deeds you would have to do a minimum points transaction through BG.This would combine your maintenance, earn dates and make you responsible for only 1 club due. Beyond this it would qualify you for any preferred levels through BG.


Q.    I would like to keep the deeds I have and just add these points and combine the dues and maintenance. Is that possible or do you know? Are you able to assist with that or the title company you use? I don't know what I would have to do to get that all done. Thanks.
I cannot assist in combining points with any current BLUEGREEN that you currently own. IF YOU PURCHASE THESE POINTS YOU DO HAVE 3 OPTIONS.
A.    1) You can keep this deed seperate this would be deemed as a totally different BLUEGREEN account. This would have seperate earn dates, club dues and MF's. This would require no additional transactions thru BLUEGREEN Corp.
2)you can purchase this point package then combine your m.f's, club dues and earn dates thru a minimum points transaction thru BLUEGREEN. If you request to keep your curent deeds at the same location this is called a RELOADED DEED.(
3) You can wrap everything into 1 DEED, MF, CLUB DUE, and EARN DATE. This is done by doing a minimum points transaction with BLUEGREEN as well.
Most owners opt for option #2 or #3 so they can obtain a BLUEGREEN PREFERRED level and all BLUEGREEN benifits.
Most of my BLUEGREEN transactions are with current bluegreen owners who are wishing to add to thier vacation profile. The reason they do purchase thru me is directly due to economics--- being that bluegreen is asking $ 14,000 plus for this same points package.
Q.    Thanks, that is very helpful. Only 1 more question. If we would do the reload deed thing (so we keep our existing deed), do I just need to contact Bluegreen after the purchase and they will take care of it, or do I need to contact them before to make arrangements? Sorry for so many questions, but you've been very helpful. Thanks.
A.     There is no hurry to contact BG. When you win this item you will go through a closing with me and I will take care of your transfer of this ownership with BG. Following this transaction you can contact BG and let them know what you are wanting to do. So to answer your question no need to hurry.
Q. (Response) thank you SO much for all your help. I will give it a good shot/bid.

Greensprings Plantation Williamsburg Virginia 4 Bedroom

Q   is this timeshare converted into points
      and what are the fees to bank your points?

A.    Hello~ This question is a complicated one to answer due to this ownership being so flexible in its usage. You can use Interval International, RCI (weeks) and RCI points. RCI points costs $39 for a 1 day stay to $124.00 per week stay and is prorated accordingly for 2 thru 6 day stays. You can also use RCI points with air, cruising, car rental, and hotels with fees averaging $40 per usage transaction. Your question is about banking---- If you bank using RCI weeks format it is $164 ---- RCI points is $124. To answer your other question. Yes the ownership is 120,000 RCI POINTS

Q: 
Hi, I am interested in bidding but I have some questions. I already have a timeshare but it is a deeded week, I am not sure how the points work. Do I have to buy an exchange membership and if so what does that cost? How far in advance can I book my week? Will I have problems getting prime weeks, as I am a teacher and those are my only holiday weeks. Have renovations been done to this resort? Are they planning on doing any? Finally with this amount of points how many other resorts will I be able to use or are more points needed? Thanking you in advance.

A: 
A RCI membership comes with the onwership and is built into the Main fees. Once you have your account you can go in and book up to 10 months in advance. I have nothing in my notes about renovations. Please feel free to contact the resort directly on that. Typically it takes 154,000 points for a full prime time 2 Bedroom week. May owners get more bang for there points buy using them to travel Mon - Thursday. It takes less points.

128,000 WYNDHAM FAIRFIELD POINTS TIMESHARE Orlando, FL

Q: 
$291.84 Annually. Due April 2009 Is the entire amount due at one time or is it billed monthly?
Sep-17-08

A: 
Currently is being paid half each year one time a year.

Q: 
WHAT IS THE DEEDED WEEK? iS THE $291 MAINTENANCE FEE & TAXES DIVIDED IN HALF SINCE THIS IS BIENNIAL?
Sep-17-08

A: 
It was deeded as points. Yes half is paid each year.

Q: 
Does this deeded timeshare come with a free annual RCI membership? The biennual points of 128k, can some be bank for the next year (off year of the timeshare) - thinking of taking to shorter mid-week vacation. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

A: 
Yes an RCI membership is built in to the ownership. You use or loose FF points. Or you make a reservation and bank the use to exchange at a later date. I don't think you will have much problem using your points and using them for mid-week reservations is a great plan.

N Myrtle Beach South Carolina Timeshare 2BR RED WEEK

Q:
I see an * is applied for a fee to join RCI, how much is fee and is it yearly? How many RCI points would this unit have assigned yearly and last but not least would this unit qualify for the defender program? I will bid accordingly when I have answers in hand. THANK YOU DARRYL

A:
There is an intial fee of $100.00 to join RCI followed by an annual fee of $124.00. If you already have an RCI points account you can bank this week and it would be worth 40,000 points. However if you do not have a previous points account this is not an RCI points resort and cannot be converted. As far as the defender program I am not familiar with this program. You can call defender resorts and ask if it is available with resale accounts. If you are looking for an RCI points account you can email me at jennifer@emidsouthinc.com with the specifics of what you are looking for. I can then point you in the direction of the auction that will fit your needs.
Thank you for your interest,

5800 SHELL Vacation Club POINTS Gold Crown TIMESHARE

Q: 
Hello! I am very curious about how you go about selling this product. I just did a search here on E Bay as a flook! My husband and I are interested in selling our 6000 points a year in the Shell Vacation Club Program. We would be interested in brokering them to you. What is your fee and the other details. You seem to be rather successful at this! Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you so much. Shari

Thank you for considering using eMidsouth for your Timeshare Listing or Timeshare Donation needs. Unfortunately, at this current time , we are not able to accept new listings or donations for resale. After a long process of evaluating our resale program, it is evident that in terms of timeliness and profitability, the current model has not proven efficient or effective. As a result, we are excited to have created a new program that I believe is the best solution for people undergoing a lifestyle change, and no longer have a need for their timeshare. Please visit www.donewithtime.com to read about our new program. If you feel this is the best solution for you we are happy to help and always available to answer questions, especially those that will help you compare other programs on the market who might charge up-front fees or the like. We take pride in specializing in timeshare, and are confident we can serve you. Kind Regards. Bryan Watson P.S. If you have or know someone that has the skill set to sell your timeshares for you on eBay or Redweek I would try that first. We know many people that do that and then use our closing company to do the closing. More information on our closing company can be found at www.vacationclosings.com

FT Lauderdale Florida Gold Crown Timeshare

Q:
Hello I am the winner of the auction. Can you please tell me after my payment what else you need about me? How long does it take to receive the contracts? Is this week fixed every year the same or floating? I ask you that because at the RCI list of resorts the one that you are selling is not in Weeks resorts but POINTS. The item discription does not say anything about points Please send me further information so I won't make any mistakes



A:
I need your deed information the name or names, married or single, address, county, phone number, and any additional names and relationship to owner (ie. son or daughter). Once we get the payment and deed information we will begin the transfer. I will send you a time line after payment but normally we try to get everything done in about 30 days. Although it is a RCI points resort this week has not been converted to points so this is a fixed week as stated in the listing.

Virgin Islands Timeshare Bluebeards Beach Club & Villas

Q. Is this a Wyndham Property? To reserve a floating week, who do you contact? Or do you automatically get week 31?

A. This resort is managed by Wyndham. You would contact wyndham to reserve the week. As listed in the ad you have weeks 1-51 to chose from. The sooner you reserve a week the better the chance you are going to get the week you wish to use.

Thank you for your interest,

140,000 Wyndham Points Timeshare Pompano Beach, FL

Q: 
Hi e-bayer I’m new to the timeshare industry but am interested in buying a timeshare. I am at the end of a 3 year trial with Club La Costa and have decided not to enter into their scheme. I have a question regarding the sale of 140,000 Wyndham Points Timeshare Pompano Beach, FL. Do both RCI and Interval International accept the Wyndham Points and give an equivalent 140,000 points in exchange? Thanks Reece
Sep-07-08

A: 
RCI and Wyndham have their own points systems and its about a 3 to 1 points ratio. What takes Wyndham 154,000 takes RCI 54,000. This is an RCI resort. I do not believe this resort is on IIs list.

154,000 FAIRFIELD/Wyndham Bonnet Creek, FL Timeshare

Q: Hello. Is this for odd and even years? or is it split for one or the other? do you have the deed? is it deeded for Wyndham Bonnet Creek? do the points roll over if not used?


A: This is 154K every even year. I have the deed and that is what is states on the deed. It is deeded at Bonnet Creek. Points are either used or you make a reservation and bank the week you reserve if you cannot go.
