I was recently looking into purchasing a non Disney timeshare as we would like to vacation other places as well. It seems that in general the only resale that presently holds its value is DVC. Some of the better names may get a 40% return on the retail at best but it is questionable as to what was paid to start with. What concerns me more is that there seems to be a large number of timeshares, some point based systems similar to how DVC works, that people can not sell period and they turn into a liability. If the Timeshare is used year after year this is not an issue but they may come a time when you have to sell. Some of the problems seem to be aging resorts mismanagement and best of all it seems that re-sales loose some perks and their terms can be changed at any time. For example with a point based system re-sales may only be able to book at the resort owned atthis is extreme and most likely will not occur but it could.
After looking at all of this I am happy to own DVC but wonder why it truly maintains such a high re-sale as other systems have ROFR as well and (sorry) nicer resorts than Disney but of course not DVC location or extras ..
