DO NOT GET FED-UP AND GO TO UP FRONT FEE COMPANY BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR MONEY WILL GO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND YOU WILL STILL OWN YOUR TIMESHARE!

I have tried listing things on Craig's List in the past (not timeshares) and found that there is a limit to how many areas you can list on. If you know how to get past this limitation please advise. In addition, the prime areas would be to list it around the location of the timeshare NOT in your hometown as many people do. When people are looking for a TS they generally will go go Florida sites for one there, not to the Denver site.
I also support your advice to NOT pay upfront for a listing. If someone is going to pay, it should only be at the time of title transfer as a commission, sevice fee or whatever. That way they know it's a done deal.
Personal note to Phill12
The idea of Option to Sell is a great idea! I use it in real estate for finding buyers of residential properties I deal with. I like your twist.
I don't know how to contact you directly so this is the only way I can for now. If you want to contact me you can do it through my blog which is found on one of these postings. I would like your permission of writing this up in greater detail and posting the idea on my blog. May I?
