Re: Cut my price on timeshare...what else to sell it? (by Ken R.):
The question shouldn't be what you're willing to accept. It should be what you're willing to do to get the best price you can.
Here's an idea I wrote in a lot more detail on my blog, http://donatetimeshare.blogspot.com/. You can go there for the details. You might find it interesting.
Consider this. If you decided to take just one more vacation at your resort and used that vacation to sell your timeshare to people coming in for the tour presentation, do you think you might be able to get a little better price? It's a lot easier than you think.
In a nutshell, prepare in advance. Take your week at your resort. Rent a car. Have permission from the police (not the resort) to park across the street with a "Timeshare for Sale $1,000 less than your best price" in the window or on top of the car. As people stop to ask what it's about, tell them to make the best deal they can, sign the contract if they are going to buy, bring it back to you and you'll sell yours for $1,000 less to them. They can buy from you and cancel their contract.
What can the resort do to you? Nothing! They can't even hassle you where your staying. That would be grounds for a good law suit. Be a little aggressive, a little bold, plan ahead, and you can easily make thousands of more dollars on your sale than the normal heavy discount, post and wish system too many people use.
