We want Aulani! Is Resale ok?

[Twohsieh]

Yes, Aulani is definitely worth it! If you plan to visit Aulani often, especially during peak months, then it’s well worth buying direct or resale at Aulani.

We have direct points at VGC but we bought resale at AUL mainly to snag a subsidized contract.
We travel to Aulani every year, so we wanted the 11 month priority advantage. We had a few unsuccessful reservation attempts at the 7 month mark for June reservations when we used our VGC points.

We put all of our assets in the name of our Living Trust, including our two timeshares. The title company takes care of all the paperwork to put the name in the trust.

Yeah, we bought Aulani for the 11 month advantage for June, specifically, as well. It’s impossible to get otherwise!

I’m not seeing any good reasons to not buy resale. Time to start stalking resale sites and watching prices….

I don’t know if you’re still watching but there’s a great 200 pt resale on Vacatia listed for $88/pt. Seller and I almost came to terms on it…almost! http://www.vacatia.com

Almost came to terms? What blew the deal? For that price, not sure I’d want to annoy the seller by asking for more.

Yikes that PVB contract on there for 1000 points.. that thing is going to be sitting for a minute unless someone has a cool 145 grand sitting around.. at least it has a banked 1,000 points I guess.

It was actually priced higher when I made an offer, which was rejected, then I put in a new offer and then the seller lowered the price instead of replying to my offer, but on Vacatia I couldn’t really do anything about my offer until the seller responded. Couldn’t even just accept their price. So in the end it just didn’t work out, and another deal completed instead.
