Timeshares are a really tough topic since so many owners are dissatisfied. We just got rid of a boat that we've had for several years, and we didn't get much for it. I told my wife, "At least it was better than a timeshare. At least we could get rid of it, and at least we got something."

We know exactly what you're saying; we have experienced the same anger as we have thinned our timeshare holdings. Happy to say, we bought them in eBay, so losses were tiny. Trouble with so many timeshare buyers/owners is that they do not realize they are buying/holding real estate mega-condos run by mostly nameless, faceless boards and holding companies who only want HOA cash flow. Like boats and cars and what-have-you, a timeshare (fractional ownership) is worth only what someone will pay ... if there's actually a "someone" out there who wants it. Location, season and whether fixed or floating seem to me to be the features that make the most difference when I've hoped and prayed for buyers of our timeshares.
