Buying at Riviera?

So I am not sure why you are using 2011 inflated numbers compared to the original pricing prior to it selling out (BLT was for all intensive purposes sold out in June 2011).

Also in 2010 you could purchase BLT for $108/point with promos.
Link to promo info from 2010

BLT also launched even without promos at $112 and then was at $120 until right before it sold out where it was $130 for roughly 7 months. Yet somehow you are using a post sell out price of $150?

You would easily be up money at this point 8-10 year later on that contract.

200 Points * $120/point + $800 closing = $24,800
200 Points * $108/point + $800 closing = $22,400

That means with an 8% commission you need to sell just for $133.92/point to break even on standard BLT direct pricing or $120.96/point if you bought with just that one promo I posted.

We could likely even add in financing and make a break even.

Yes. I bought BLT in Spring of 2011 for $115 per point ($130 - $15 incentive), closing costs of just $301 (I have the settlement statement) plus I was given a $500 Visa gift card. Total price net was $23,426, right in the middle of your examples.

That said @RoseGold's point that OKW is not an accurate example of resale profitability is IMO more than fair, even if the $150 price for BLT was inaccurate..
