I am just saying I wouldn't even pay $100 per point for RR if it was offered on resale because of the restrictions it would give me so naturally it has less value because lack of value on the back end. The direct buyer doesn't see that issue until they sell which everyone assumes they won't initially. I do feel you are right that as 2042 approaches we will see a major crash in DVC value as they are intentionally planning from my point of view. But that would mean they forgot what made DVC the timeshare it is today... Value for the long term which includes owning a product that doesn't depreciate instantly. DVC is selling that resort slow for a reason and I believe it is because of people like me see it differently.
Here's the caveat- what new resorts will be around 20 years from now and will you be able to use your Riviera points at that resort? I agree that the resorts that expire in 2042 are going to have a tipping point and decrease in value, but if DVC2 grows and keeps building new resorts, there's going to be a demand there.. and if you can use Riviera points at any DVC2 resort, those points are going to be worth more rather than less.
