Re: Have you sold your timeshare on RedWeek? (by Phil L.):

We're taking the hit and turning it over to the resort to sell on our behalf. It is too bad. I'm not sure why it didn't sell here. Maybe it was not a location that was of interest (Cape Cod) or the time of year, which was a High Red week. Good luck to you.
We tried renting this years unit without one person showing interest even though we priced $185 per night less than our resort and our building was sold out! Had another owner also go through this and gave it to our resort and it was rented in two days!
If your resort has resales dept and you want to sell then don't waste your money and time on these sites!
We bought our first unit through resort resales dept few years ago when I retired and knew them very well! We were owners at our resort years ago and left timesharing for about 10 years!
We pulled our unit from Redweek after wasting time and money and used the Memorial week ourselves!
While there we bought the Tower building we owned years ago to go with our Naegle unit. They already set us up to use main unit in Aug 2008 and rent lock-off during ski season!
If you have a good Resales Dept then use them, yes you might get less but something will get done! Also you won't be dealing with low-life scammers either. We bought our second unit on May 28th and when we returned from second part of our vacation to Colorado Springs we already had escrow closed and I have all the paperwork dated June 8,2008 and everything is finished! Why would you think doing it yourself would be better!
Our Resale Dept has good price but being a owner gets us even a better price.
When we decide to sell I will make one call to them and that is it! Of coarse if a owner was to buy they get a discount and we get less!
I'm not trying to be rude but people that own in a good resort that has Resale Dept and don't use them it has to be for only two reasons and one I won't state on here and the other is greed!
