Re: sELLING MY TIMESHARE (by R P.):
danc, you're comparing apples to oranges below. norin was trying to sell her timeshae, not rent it out as you were. The company she mentions charges a large upfront fee (in the hundreds) to list her timeshare in a computer database and that's all they do. They do no marketing to sell her timeshare and she loses her upfront fee. Land Ahoy is just another scam upfront fee resale company ... they get your money and you never hear from them again.
If they were a legitimate resale company they would take her fee after they sell her timeshare, not before. The mantra for timeshare educated people is never ever pay an upfront fee to any company to sell your timeshare.
On the other hand, Redweek charges a nominal fee to list with them. They get thousands of hits a day from people looking for sales and rentals. If you listed your timeshares for rent on Redweek and received no interest, then you were more than likely asking far too much. The market (renter/buyer) sets the price for all sales and rentals.
Redweek is a timeshare internet listing service, not an upfront fee resale company that charges hundreds of dollars.
In closing, I'm sure you paid a fee to that company to rent your timeshares. Would you care to tell us how much they charged you?

It's strange that you would bad mouth one company and in the same breath you say that you will go with another company. And as for being the first one to complain to the BBB, just proves that this company doesn't mis lead there customers. You sound like you don't know what you want and you find comfort in blaming others for your instability.
