IF..the new owner allows the old timeshare owners to continue using their weeks for only the maintenance fees...I myself can't think of what the difference would be to them, with the only exception being that RCI and ''trading to other places'' would be off the books. BUT, with a guarantee of the use of one's own unit, I think the new owner is being decent...since the Maint fees would probably be a lot less than a week's stay at the new resort.
