Re: Buying timeshares (even resale) (by Meg Y.):

megy, please be aware that the poster above BOUGHT their timeshare from a resale company, she was not SELLING her timeshare.

If this resale company charges a large upfront fee (in the hundreds) to sell then I wouldn't do business with them. Upfront fee resale companies are notorious for taking your upfront fee and then you never hear from them again.

You can do just as well by listing your timeshare on Redweek or one of the other internet timeshare listing sites and save yourself a LOT of money. Remember to price your timeshare reasonably.

Sorry for the misunderstanding jayjay. Yeah, the more I read on this forum about up front fees, the more I am simply going to refuse to pay anyone for this scam!! Then, I googled "no upfront fee timeshare resale". That was a joke as well. Oh yeah, no "upfront" fee, but they state a "one time fee". LIke duh!!! what's the difference. Where are the honest people anymore. I guess I will just keep trying to sell on my own. I already dropped my price on my redweek posting, but really,,,do not want to go any lower. What I have is definitely worth what I am asking, (at less than 1/2 of what I paid). I just wish there was more action/interest for Canadian Timeshares. I guess I am just not tapping into "Canadian " people, as most on this board are u.s. as well. Thanks for your help, keep up the good work in warning people.
