You can post what you need on the Rent/Trade board. Rates are usually about $10/point.
You can always borrow the 6 points from 2006 for your 2005 trip...

from what I understand you can do a cash ressie for the 6 points, cost unknown. we are paying cash for a studio at OKW coming up in July and paid about $190.00 a night for Friday and Saturday. Thats $190.00 each night. So do the math i believe the amount of points needed for that time of the year is 27 each night thats about $ 7.00 a point. Dont know if that is the exact formula but that how i figured it.

I'm not sure what you mean here, but you can either use points or cash but not a combination of the two. For example, if you're 6 points short for your last night, you cannot use cash to make up the difference. You could pay cash for that night, or you could borrow or rent 6 points.

You cannot just buy or rent the extra 6 points from DVC. You can get an entire night for cash and try to link them. Depending on whether you get the reservation from CRO or DVC on cash, you might have to change rooms.
