New $500 Resale DVC Transfer Fee

nice try Andy … allowing someone to rip you off has never been, and will never be, an indicator of wealth.

“Rip off”?

No typo. The general idea is that when DVC sells a direct contract they have it budgeted to set up an account for a new owner. What they don’t budget for is closing that account and creating a new one for the subsequent owner (and potentially doing that again and again each time that contract gets sold). They claim the set up work being repeated for the subsequent owners should not be paid for by the membership or through dues.

And potential costs of bringing a new owner up to speed that may not have been budgeted to cover beyond the initial direct sale. Each time a contract is resold, that may mean a new member. There’s a cost involved bringing them up to speed that probably was already spent on the original owner. All the newby questions and helping them understand how to use the product. Even rolling back their first ‘mistake’ - a typical practice whether a new member entered via resale or direct.
