[Q=tjk8] Given the number of timeshares on eBay for $1, are there properties that actually sell for anything close to the listing prices that I see on Redweek? I am willing to pay the $60 fee to list this for a year and have already planned to pay the 2010 MFs in January, but I am beginning to wonder whether it is even worth making that additional investment. It would be cheaper and easier in the long run to simply turn the TS over to the management company if it turns out that I there is no real resale market. Is that an option that people have explored?[/Q] [b]The problem with Orlando is that it's overly saturated with timeshare resorts (more timeshare resorts per capita than anywhere else in the world) and there's thousands of timeshare weeks for sale in that area .... look at the ads (Orlando, Kissimmee, Clermont) just on Redweek alone. To tell if a timeshare week has been sold, Redweek puts a sold sign next to it ... that should be a pretty good indication of what's selling and what's not. As Ken mentioned the vast majority of resorts will not take deedbacks .... their bread and butter are maintenance fees from owners and in this market it's tough to sell any timeshare.[/b]
