We are Canadians who purchased a Florida timeshare in 1997, for $9,000.00 U.S. Over the years we have paid $1500 surcharge twice and our maintenance fee is now just over $1,000.00 for one week. We are now in our 70's, have spoken to the owner rep at our resort about selling our resort. The resort is a sold out timeshare, which does not buy back units. We have offered our timeshare to a few young families we know but everyone feels the maintenance fee is high, and of course, for Canadians, 35% higher than an American. I have spoken to Timeshare Resale people, who ask for $2,000.00 or more upfront and I won't do this. I feel we have expired all our ideas, except to walk away, but really don't want to do this. Any suggestions?
