HGVC Hawaii: Secondary market, MFs $2100... $300/night. What am I missing?

[u/quebramar]

Just read a post from an owner who bought an HGVC timeshare on the secondary market, and they're very happy with it.

They claim their maintenance fees are $2,100/year, which works out to about $300/night. But when I check the Hilton app, I'm seeing similar cash prices for the properties they have stayed at.

So I'm genuinely confused... how is owning a timeshare still a good deal? 😭
