We have decided to sell our DVC (actually already have an offer), and I wanted some opinions on my reasoning. We bought (270) points of BLT for a pretty good price on the resale market--and basically will make a couple dollars on the resale. After paying a couple years of MF (around $1300), I started looking around at places like David's Rentals and other places--where you can rent points for anywhere from $12/PP to $15/PP. We typically go on vacation once a year, for around (10) days.
A quick price check on David's (usually one of the highest PP) shows a (10) day stay at a Studio at BCV for around $2400. Taking into consideration that I'm usually paying $1300 in MF, that will be just around $1100 more to stay at a DVC--without the large chunk of money I put up for the actual DVC we owned.
When we sell our DVC, that large chunk of money will return to our savings account--and we can still stay at DVC-level resorts. I will buy an AP (Gold level) before we sell--which will allow us another (2) years of visits. My TIW card will also be re-purchased at our upcoming trip, so I will get (18) months out of that too.
Please critique my thinking, and let me know if I'm missing--or wrong on any information.
