Re: Buying timeshares (even resale) (by Orville F.):

Last year we purchased a pre-built luxury "Royal" timeshare for $20,000 every other year from the developer. We felt we got a great deal. We love it and it's RTU for 50 yrs, plus maint fees of $725, it amounts to about $1800 per week for our vacations (fixed week). Then I found Redweek and bought "Grand Mayan" for $6,000 (total) 1 brdrm. I really thought we did good. Then I found E-Bay and bought two 2-bdrm mayan palaces for less than $6,000 (total) and 1 palm springs 5 star for $1000 (total) Those last three have maint. fees of around $450. We couldn't live in a place for that price!! If I could buy 52 weeks at $1000 each and live in a beautiful Palm Springs Resort for $450 week including all utilities and maid service, Retirement Here We Come!! In answer to your question "E-Bay is the only way" just be sure you check ratings for the seller and the escrow company. Also learn how to do advanced searches with E-bay to find the average high and low prices of the timeshare your interested in.
