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

I corrected my post and PHIL12 now has credit for the idea of rent with option to buy. So sorry.

Like I said, I bought the timeshare 10 years ago, pre-internet (imagine that!) and if you wanted to buy a timeshare you either had to go to one of those 90 minute tours or go to a resale office. I quess I was too frightened to venture into a resale office in the Orlando area thinking I would never get out alive. I did however make it to three 90 minute presentations (that will never happen again). Again, this was PRE-INTERNET. I was simply agreeing (with PHIL12) to use a marketing technique that has worked for timeshare companies for at least a decade and possibly continues to work to sell the units (and also worked for PHIL12). Afterall, the developers are selling at high prices and some of us are having difficulty selling at a fraction of the cost. I really can't understand with the power of the internet why anyone would buy from a developer when you can save thousands on resales. It just doesn't make sense. I'm almost to the point of making REDWEEK business cards and placing them in restaurants, hotels, train stations, dropping a few at the airport, just to get some internet traffic. Hmm....so very frustrating for those of us who want/need to sell. BTW, who's "BETTERHALF"?
