I don't understand why some of them say "150 now, but 300 next year" and I also wanted to know if it is legit to buy these memberships resale... And once you buy them, you still hav eto pay a bunch of money for a vacation, but less than other people pay, right?

I am not a goofball... but for some reason my brain is not able to grasp this stuff.
Ok, are you talking about renting or buying now?

I don't think 275 is too many, there are a lot of people out there with large contracts who might like to do one large rental than 2-3 smaller ones. You will just have to start looking around at some of the larger boards too.

The resales are legit to buy and you will get all the same perks as those who bought through Disney. Once you buy the contract you will have to pay fees every year depending on how many points you own and where.

I think DVC is a great deal if you have the money. If you have to really budget it in to your monthly bills I don't know that it's such a good deal. I think it's one of those extras in life and I wouldn't buy in unless we could truly afford it. I have read some talk on another board that DVC might be thinking about cutting down on point rentals. There are people who have to rent points to pay for some of their membership, this might be a problem for them. (I have no idea if it's true or not and I didn't add that to start a debate about renting points.)
