1. start by reading this entire thread 2. the market (buyer) sets the price for any given timeshare week and it's a buyers market with the glut of timeshare weeks for sale in the market place 2. keep lowering your price until you start getting some interest 3. week 13 is during spring break, so if you keep lowering your price you could very well sell it

Can anyone give me some tips on how to sell my timeshare. It has been posted on redweek since Aug 06. I really want to get rid of it. It's a one bdr studio deluxe with ocean front view. I own wk 13 @ the Casa Del Mar in Ormond Bch, FL. I thought it would have sold by now. What else can I do?

I do not agree with this or the previous posters advice to keep lowering your price. Sometimes I wonder if these posters are buyers who just want to discourage sellers so they can get a steal of a deal. I checked your listing and your price is already the lowest for your annual timeshare. You have a great spring week, in a good area. If it was just a matter of a lower price yours would be sold by now, your price is very reasonable. Everything is slower this year. My rentals took much longer to get this year compared to previous years, but... I did get them. Typically, I noticed that Sept. to about March are slower sales times. Late winter and early Springtime things pick up. I had a timeshare for sale and got a low ball offer which I refused. A month or two later I got a great buyer for my (very reasonable) original price. Your week hasn't come up this year yet. You may get more interest from someone visiting the resort at that time, love it, and go looking for a resale of that exact week. Let me urge you again, hang in there, get as much free exposure (bidshares.com, craigslist.com, etc) as well as listing it here on redweek.com and wait until the right buyer comes along. You just may be pleasantly surprised!
