While searching for resales I found....

I was looking over all the resale sites looking for a nice contract before the 3/20 deadline. I found the first, at least that I have seen, Aulani contract for sale...

I figured one would be popping up before too long, too bad for whoever has to sell already!

They probably found out about the proposed tax hike.

I'm not sure how they are buying from, but selling through... BAD. Very bad. I put up my Vegas timeshare on there. Essentially, flat fee about $500 I think (this was about 4-5 years ago), and could never get them on the phone again. I eventually got rid of it through other means at a nice loss (will never buy a deeded week again personally... I like points based like DVC) but not through them.

Just anecdotal to anyone looking... Be careful.

Wow, a 400% increase?! When I clicked on the legislative link, there is no specific % increase listed under Section 2, part 2. There's a blank spot in the middle of the sentence where an amount should be filled in. Wow, that's certainly transparent governing over there in Hawaii, huh?! I wonder how much the increase will be with final passage, since it was passed with unspecified amendments. I'm just overjoyed (NOT) that the bill is slated to start collecting the increased taxes at almost the exact same time as Aulani is set to open.

We really were too spontaneous when we purchased our Aulani points. I'm so glad we didn't purchase a larger contract.
