Re: Still confused...... (by Phil L.):
ebram The "upfront companies" advertise their sights more than Redweek and I have perused them many times. Redweek has the same high priced ads, which means the listed items probably won't sell. Redweek collects less from the seller because it assesses the potential buyer as well. This means the "upfront companies" have more people looking at the ads.
[PHILL12] First statement tells it all! These up front companies do advertise THEIR SITE more than companies like Redweek and this is the first red flag people should see before losing their money and time!
These companies advertise their company not your timeshare. You might get listing in one of their books for walkins to see along with thousands of others! You might have your unit buried in with thousands of others and probably 100's of your own timeshare!
I do agree that paying Redweek,Tug,and other sites probably a waste of your money and time for most people but if you want to sell you need to have way for people to see what your selling!
It still comes down to price, resort, location,location and location!
These companies sell you space on their sites or a news paper classified sections for you to run your ad. You make up your own ad so it says what ever you want.
Now you hope someone reads your ad and wants to buy your unit!
