Re: sELLING MY TIMESHARE (by R P.):

Ellen, as I have reiterated numerous times in these forums, do not ever pay an upfront fee to a company to sell your timeshare. If they truly want to sell your timeshare they will take their fee after the sale not before.

If you have authorized their upfront fee on your credit card, get in touch with your credit card company asap and have the charges revoked. Do not sign the contract.

These types of companies are merely a listing service and they list your timeshare on their computer with no marketing involved. They will tell you all sorts of lies like your timeshare is worth many times it's value or people are waiting in line for a week like you own. I honestly don't see how these people sleep at night.

You can LIST your timeshare here at Redweek or on other listing sites that get volumes of internet traffic with very little cost involved.

The main thing to remember is to list your timeshare at a reasonable price. If it was bought developer, then 99% of developer bought timeshares will bring only about 1/3 to 1/4 in the resale market of what you paid the developer.

Anyone hear of a company called IBD Marketing? I am waiting for contracts to come in mail but before I sign I want to find out a little more about them. I did authorize a $799 fee in advance to cover title search, deed transfer, etc. The gentleman was very knowledgeable and assured me I can sell for a profit.
