I am one of those people who surf Redweek, but haven't yet joined. I was looking for a place to rent a timeshare, and so far, this site is quite interesting and I have learned a lot.

Here's the big question. Are the weekly amounts negotiable or not? How do I go about this?

Hi Carries25;

I'm a Redweek member and an owner of 3 Marriott timeshare weeks at a resort in Hilton Head, SC. I own in the Gold season (Spring/Fall), in my opinion the best time of the year at HH (no humidity to speak of and not terribly hot). My weeks are oceanside, not oceanfront.

I've rented two of my three timeshare weeks (all I listed) through Redweek the past two summers as we had no time to use all of them. I had no trouble renting them, but as JayJay says, I charged a reasonable amount ($1500. / week this year). My weeks were reserved over Memorial Day.

As to whether I'd negotiate - maybe, but only if I really wanted to rent them badly - ie - if I would lose the use of the week without renting. But in all my cases those who contacted me were willing to pay what I asked - they did not offer lower amounts. Would I have accepted a lower offer - maybe, but in these cases likely not, as my asking price (at the time I had them listed) was $500. lower per week than the others listed for the same week. Hope this info is what you wanted.
