18) Can you summarize the difference between owning a developer unit and owning a resale unit?
a. Resales can't be converted to Starpoints. (Often considered a poor value anyway.)
b. Resales at a Staroption Voluntary Resort can't be exchanged within the SVN - but Resales from Mandatory Resorts can. (See the list above.)
c. You can't combine the Staroptions from different resale weeks to make a Staroption exchange.
d. You should have an edge when you exchange a resale with II, because it is believed that you have the legal right to reserve and deposit a week of your choice. (Since you are not an SVN member, SVN rules regarding deposits should not apply to you.) However, Starwood may attempt to choose the week for you. (People have reported different results when challenging this policy, i.e., some are successful in depositing the week of their choice and some are not.) You would have a separate II Acct. for resale weeks - and resale weeks still have the II priority.
e. You would have a separate mystarcentral.com Acct. for any resale weeks, but besides that, the Acct. would be identical.
