There's no problem with resale as long as it's a reputable person. I had a great experience with A Timeshare Broker and many have with the sponsor of this site, the Timeshare Store. Plus you can obtain ownership at properties sold out from DVC. Just be careful how many points are available for 2001 and 2002 and how the dues are prorated. Also closing costs will run $400- 500. If you are looking for OKW or BWV than resale is the only way to go, if you want VWL, HH or VB, Disney has attractive Magical Beginings program.
