I find all the resale vs. Direct sales kind of exhausting. I am not even sure there was much of a resale market back when we bought.
For us, we always bought with the idea we would keep it till the end, or at least as long as we planned to go to Disney. We didn't remotely plan on being able to sell them for a profit (which we could now....unheard of after buiying direct and owning 23 years) but we were pretty sure Dvc would only get more expensive.
I have to admit the blue card is important to me. I like and use all the perks possible. As is staying at our DVC and not somewhere on Irlo Branson Highway.
Don't love all the changes to DVC, but some have been fantastic, like all the new resorts and member nights.
IMO Disney offered buyers a HUGE opportunity to have member benefits at only 25 points. People should have jumped then. And if it is 100 now it will probably be 150 next year. Pay it or don't, but I don't think it is fair in this case to say the writing wasn't on the wall.
Vent over. For now.
