Is it better to buy timeshare from an owner (resale), or directly from the resort (retail)?
It is much better to buy from the owner on a resale basis, on Country Wide Timeshare Sales. Here are the reasons for this answer: Over the years, the retail prices offered by the resort developer increase, pretty much along inflation rates, regardless of whether you are buying the week for the first time, or from a previous owner. The only reason to pay more for retail is because the resort is new and meets your criteria much more than any other resort in your preferred vacation destination. Remember that an existing owner has already experienced the “appreciation” of fixed priced vacations over many year, so they are usually willing to sell their timeshare at approximately the same price as they paid for it a long time ago, giving you a much better value for exactly the same unit and associated ownership benefits.
