Re: sELLING MY TIMESHARE (by April J.):

Hang in there Vicky. I too am trying to sell my timeshare (2 bedroom, RCI gold crown resort in the Orlando area, floating redweek). I think PHIL12 (oops, originally had "jayjay" but was corrected...it was PHIL12's suggestion) has a point with the rental/option to buy. Originally that's how I bought my timeshare through the developer. I did the tour and paid to come back on a rental. If I decided to buy, they would apply the rental fee to the purchase price. That was 10 years ago and it worked. At another time, during an RCI trade to Hawaii, we stayed at a nice place and said if we were to ever purchase another week, that would be the place. Sort of like a rent with an option to buy. As it turned out, when we did decide to buy another vacation week, we went to the Hawaiian resort and bought resale (no other way because they are sold out). BTW, when you do get a buyer, please have them pay the closing costs. After WEEKS of talking to a potential buyer, we finally agreed on the price and terms. Shortly after he initiated the contact with the timesharetransfer company, he and/or his brother realized it wasn't the week they wanted (silver vs. gold, although I have never had an issue making a reservation or trading and I told him it was week 43). At least now I am not trying to get my money back from the timesharetransfer company. Frustrating....hopefully, you can avoid that situation. In any event, just my two cents.
