With respect to purchasing points privately, please be aware that the buyer will pay a $3.00 per point transfer fee to Vacation Club in addition to the amounts paid to the seller. There are also education fees, closing costs, etc. When you tally this all up, there may not be much advantage over buying from Vacation Club. We were about to buy some additional points at a recent presentation and decided to just buy another Marriott "platinum, prime location at resort, beach week" through an ad on Redweek. We can use the week, trade it, rent it easily, etc. Should we want out of the timeshare at some point, we will sell it at about what we paid for it.
