ALSO, I AM WONDERING ABOUT VACATION REGISTER. THAT'S THE ONE WITH ED McMAHON AS A SPOKESPERSON. (I POSTED ANOTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT IBD MARKETING) HAS ANYONE USED THIS SERVICE ? I CAN'T FIND ANY BAD INFO ON THEM WHERE AS I HAVE FOUND BAD INFO ON IBD MARKETING. THANKS

I've purchased a week (Marriott's in Hilton Head) from them last year and was real happy with their services. They fowarded my file to Resort Closings Inc. They were very professional & courteous!!!

Really? Because someone on www.tug2.net emailed the company over and over again because he was interested in a listing on the site, but never got a response. They will not necessarily connect a buyer to a seller. That is the problem with such companies. Once they have the cash, there is no incentive to do anything. The site has more listings all the time and I feel sorry for the folks who paid good money to list there.

Another upfront fee company is Timeshares Only. They advertise bigtime, but when you call, which I have on several occasions, they tell you that your low-ball price is not going to fly with any owner. They don't even try to present the offer to the seller in most cases. How is that helping the poor person who paid that huge fee to list? You have to be willing to take the going price because no one who is savvy about timeshare is going to pay more than it is worth. It is about being realistic, but it is also about not parting with cash needlessly.
