Hello all! My name is Julie and my hubby is David. I have been reading and posting here for about 2 months, but never officially introduced myself.
Purchased 3 weeks off Ebay back in April - before I found this site - but didn't pay more than $200 total for all 3 combined, so even if they end up being dogs - I can't complain! Got a Michigan week, a Rhode Island week & european week just for trading. At least I didn't purchase from the developers.
Did pick up one more week/points in Branson after reading/researching - that too was dirt cheap, but I think it will trade better than the others. Now I must STOP looking at Ebay!!
Biggest frustration so far has been closings...why does this take so l-o-n-g!!

Finally got one closed and recognized by the resort last week. Second one is recognized by the resort and they are finishing up the deed transfer. Who knows when the 3rd will be finished...issues with the county deed transfer. And the 4th one is moving along nicely (what a surprise - purchased last and fastest so far!)
Next hurdle is signing up for II and/or RCI. Thanks for all your good advice!
