Renting DVC points

Can anyone tell me what the going rate to rent points is? Some friends would like to buy points from us but I don't know how much to charge them. Is there a standard price? Does it matter what time of year it is, or what resort? Is there a website that has this info?

Thanks for your help on this.

Typically, the going rate is somewhere between 9 and 11 dollars per point. It doesn't matter what time of year it is, or which resort. They will have to buy more points during peak season, and less during value season.

I have sold points to members of my family before, and usually keep it on the low end, either $9 or $10, depending upon how good of a deal they are getting on the room overall. I think somewhere in that range is fair to both sides.

No, I wouldn't say so, that is close enough. The cost is going to vary a little based upon the number of points, how many other people are renting points and availability at resorts. Also, if you are renting from someone you don't know well (not family or close friends), it is going to be more since the seller has to add some to adjust the cost for the risk they have to take.
