[Q=mervynf2] Hi Robert & other interested readers. I'm an Australian with a red week to sell. Two 'Sellers' are in contact with me about advertising/selling my timeshare! I had a call today from SellMyTimeshareNOW.com. Surprise surprise. A representative (JP) asked me to pay a fee ($998) and they could advertise it almost immediately etc. I asked him to clarify it with the question: is this an upfront fee?? After learning that it was indeed money before service & results (in other words .. a trust basis - for basically a real estate sale) I started to query the practice of "money first" & explain how in Australia it's not usually done like that! I hardly got the first several words out - THE LINE WENT DEAD instantly. Coincidence ... Or let's not bother with this guy as he said he said he'd done research & was querying our practices. A non convert. Ok guys, enjoy your day with more info to draw on. Cheers. Merv[/Q] Kudos to you for following the ever present mantra on Redweek's forums to never, ever pay a large upfront fee to any entity to sell your timeshare .... they sell advertising only that few people will ever see.
