I recently bought direct and keep getting tempted by resale. But, everytime I run the math for the resorts in which I'd be interested in resale, I keep coming to the conclusion that I'd rather put any money towards more direct points. That said, my direct points are also at RIV (and I do love that resort) so it makes resale a bit less appealing for me because I wouldn't ever be able to use those points there. If I were say, a Poly direct holder, and didn't care about RIV or any new resorts, resale would likely be much more enticing.
