Re: Dumping your Timeshare

The first rule when selling a timeshare is to never, ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to do so. A Starwood in Kauai is one of a few that might have some resale value. You can contact some licensed timeshare real estate brokers at ltrba.com. They will give you an idea of what your unit is worth. If it has some value, they might try to sell it for you with a minimum $1000 commission and, most importantly, they take their commission out of the proceeds of the sale, not upfront. If your property is not worth that much, the brokers there will let you know. At that point, you can try to list your property for sale here on RedWeek. Some other reputable sites are My Resort Network, E-Bay, Craigslist (free, but be prepared for a lot of spam and scam attempts), Bid Shares, and Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG"; tug2.net). Make sure you price your unit competitively and realistically.
