When you buy a timeshare directly from a developer, in most cases, over 50 percent of the purchase price is to cover the cost of sales & marketing. Why pay retail when you can acquire the same timeshare resale for a fraction of the developer’s price?

You can accelerate the break-even point considerably by buying a timeshare on the resale market, where you can often find one for half the retail cost charged by the developer.

Let somebody else pay retail for a timeshare. Resale buyers, in most cases, can get the same benefits as everyone else, and the original buyer takes the depreciation.
