Not sure about current pricing or where to buy cheaper. There are always resales, but I don't think that is less expensive.

Good luck!

Re: ok i need help

There are several DVC resale sites . The TimeShare Store is the one I looked at when we were looking to buy. We ended up buying through DVC but they seem to have a lot of listings.

You could by as few as 100 points through DVC a month or two ago and it wouldn't cost as much as usual. DVC also finances your purchase if you are interested in that. We didn't have closing costs and got all the current points so it made sense for us to buy through DVC and not resale.

There's a DVC referral thread if you would like to use a member here as a referral to get information from DVC. They will send you all the current information with not strings. I called our guide for information and didn't buy in for a couple of years, in that time she didn't call me one time. I like that.

That's the smart way to do it. We waited several years before we bought in but it was worth the wait.

Members do get a reward for referring someone to DVC but only if they buy. There are also specials deals from time to time if you use a member's name the first time you call.

I really don't know, I paid $104 per point a year ago.

I know there are a lot of happy families with DVC. One thing to consider is the market is very favorable to timeshare buyers and renters right now. I encourage you to check out the offerings at Sell TimeShare: No Closing Cost, No Commissions, Buy & Sell TimeShares. You can get an idea of what's available at what prices. I found a rental there that I saved $3500 on...a deluxe 2 bedroom week at a Marriott. I think they are also pretty knowledgable about DVC properties and points stuff.
