Re: http://www.sellmytimesharenow.com/...legit? (by Kenneth K.):

Try Redweek. Try www.mysesortnetwork.com Try a T/S licensed MLS Realtor in a state with strict rules ( Not Texas). (Not all Realtors will do timeshare...)

There is a listing on the www.tugbbs.com site of resalers and realtors who people have had good luck with.

If they ask for money up front....in most states that illegal for a licensed realtor or realty broker....but some will ask. Don't be fooled by very big advertising companies that are not realtors..or brokers. They will ask for an upfront fee to keep their upfront fees coming in via radio and TV commercials. (Not to sell anything)

How can you tell if they will even care if the sell?

Check the prices of the weeks or points they have on their site ( if they dare show it). If the prices are too good to be true (if you'd like to get that much) remember, its a crap shoot...someone might get lucky and a un educated poor family will pay the $10,000 for the same week the PPCs are selling them for on e bay for one dollar.

Oh ! The PPCs. They have the best deal (for themselves). They will sell the timeshare you own to themselves, since its worthless, anyway.

And than sell it on E Bay. So, they get $3500 from you to take YOUR T/S off your hands (MAYBE) and then list it on E Bay. You gotta sell it to them with all fees and taxes prepaid....but in some cases...very mysteriously...the maintance fees, taxes, and assessments re appear for the buyer to pay ( again)....pretty good operation? Buy stock in their company...seems it is perfectly legal.

Best part...its been reported on TUG & TS4RUMS that if the 'worthless' T/S they recieved $3500 for doesn't sell....the next year, the original owner gets billed for the maintance.

Who can you trust with timeshare? Your own due diligence. You might try to list it on e bay....or some of the other auctions. What do you have to lose by trying redweek...your here already. (Just price it to sell, and follow the extras redweek provides to make sure everything runs through right. If Marriott is still selling developer non red weeks with a 2 bed 2 bath lock outs for $1500 (includes closing)....keep this in mind when you price your unit.

If you want safety and little work, and MAYBE get some $$ back try one of those listed realtors on tug. Just brace yourself for a shock when they tell you the price they think you might get. And the commission they will need....it ain't free..but S/B honest
