Re: Still confused...... (by Phil L.):

vishnuo Dear friends,

I have tried to read through posts to understand how I should go about selling my timeshare. Looks like this whole website timeshare trading business is beginning to give me the creeps.

[PHIL12] You are totally right about reading these sites and getting the creeps! If I was new to timesharing and read these sites and hear about so many scammers I doubt I would have bought timeshare!

First if you would like to use Craigslist you will get your feet wet and learn more about what you are doing and it is free! Best part you can have all e-mails go to Craigslist and decide who you want to deal with!

On Redweek you would have to become a member then pay the fee to have your ad sit with many others for other people to look at and then if interested would have to pay Redweek member fee to talk to you!(Not a good one)

After all this you still have small chance to sell if it is good price and resort and week! Remember there are no promises it will sell off of Redweek!

We renewed this year and paid ad for renting plus extra to high light our ad and had zero interest in our timeshare. We just pulled it for Memorial week which is sold out at the resort and we are going to use it. This same thing happened to another member this month and he also pulled his timeshare and had the resort rent it.

Just because you pay to have ad does not mean you will find buyers! Check with your resort first and see if they have resales dept and even though you might get less money you will have it sold without all the problems that goes with selling. You might also make more money this way! You also might still be sitting here in five years with your condo by trying to sell it yourself!

Remember the number one statement on all these sites is "DO NOT USE COMPANIES WITH UP FRONT FEE'S" You will just lose money and more time in most cases!
