Newbie Here! Help with seeing if we can afford

[Carrot_top_curls]

Hope this is ok to ask and/or post.

I am a newbie to all of this and am interested in renting points for a 2 bedroom at OKW 10/21-10/28. I see that I need 232 points for the week. I would then post my request here and see what the going rate is from the individual owner, right? I would expect to pay $10-12 each for these points? Totaling anywhere from $2,320 - $2,784 depending on the cost of each point? And that would be for 7 nights, not 5? Is this correct? Any other fees?

Before I go and do this, I need to consult with the family members (including ourselves ) going to give them an idea of what they should expect to pay. I am overwhelmed a little at this point and need a little help. But, it is so worth it!!

Thanks a ton!!

You have the basics on how the DVC point system works. Points sell for $8-$12 dollars per point depending on how desparate the seller is. If you are interested, I could probably get a reservation for the dates specified for a two bedroom at Old Key West, or Saratoga Springs. It is possible that at the time you request it, a two bedroom may be available at one of the other resorts, for a little extra cost.
The cost for Old Key West or Saratoga Springs would be $2,100 for a two-bedroom that sleeps 8, for seven nights.
The cost for the others, if available would be $2,400.
Please let me know if your interested.
Good Luck
What a deal.
