We have 5 weeks of timeshare in points at..... We would be grateful for some advice from regular timesharers. Will we need to advertise each week separately? Is there a lot of paperwork with each sale? Can everything be done via Redweek/email etc without us having to go over to the US? Should they be advertised as $1 or free in the Bargain Basement section?

Thanks to anyone who can offer us any constructive advice about how to start the whole process.

Well it looks like you've been around long enough to know not to ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell your timeshare.

If you use a reputable closing company like TimeshareResaleclosings.com or LegalTimeshareTransfers.com, then no, you would not have to travel to the U.S. and the paperwork would be minimal. The closing company would send you documents to sign and notarize. Once you do that, you just have to mail them back to the closing company.

Of course, you would still have to find a buyer/taker first. Advertising here on RedWeek in the Bargain Basement is a good idea. You can also try Craigslist, E-Bay, and/or Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG"; tugbbs.com).

And it's good that you recognize the realistic resale value of what you have. Many people who have similar units advertise it for tens of thousands of dollars and then wonder why they get no inquiries.
