Re: Cut my price on timeshare...what else to sell it? (by Phil L.):
{PHILL12} You would be shocked how many people do check their area CL first then check the resort area they have interest in. Might be a safety factor or something but most people would rather deal with someone closer to their home area when possible! Some people will just surf locally and when they find something of interest will then go to the resort area list and check it out!
As far as how many locations you can use at same time,I have no idea but have never been stopped by Craigslist.
I don't know if you signed on each location at same time but this would cause a problem.
You do one ad at a time and after finished and it shows you then do your next ad somewhere and I doubt Craigslist would even notice.
Remember large cities list for seven days then you need to start new ad if you want. Small towns do forty- five days because they just don't get that many.
I listed in the Bay Area and after three days my ad was about fifteen pages down and I found people doing their ad every four days to keep it up front on the list.
I have seen ads on the Fresno Ca list and after four days its still on the first page so there is a big difference in areas and size cities! ===================================================
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 would like your permission of writing this up in greater detail and posting the idea on my blog. May I? Dr. Ken Rich ================================================== [PHILL12] Go for it! If it helps and saves other timeshare owners money and stress its what we try and do on these forums! =================================================== [PHILL12] I listed some top fastpitch softball pitching tools like the Jennie Finch practice tool her father invented and sells. It is great for young girls and older girls to as a pitching tool.
I listed on sites in Ca and Nevada the first week and had about seven fathers e-mail Craigslist who forward to me. I found one in Dublin Ca about 20 miles from us. After talking to the father and he wanted it for his 12 year old daughter to help her gain speed and help with learning the arm rotation. I invited them to come out and my daughter would spend time with her and teach how to use it.
They came out and loved it and even wanted to pay more for the training. Of coarse we didn't take money for lessons.
We also sold bats to a high school fastpitch coach in LA, Ca from the list in that area..
To show how well it works we also sold two bats that cost us $250.00 each at one of the fastpitch tournaments in LA when daughter played 12 and under.
One of the best bats and hard to find and a lady in Texas found my ad on the San Jose Ca list and bought both bats.
As I have stated before we gave our daughter a new Toyota Salara when she Graduted high school and sold her car.
We listed her car on CA, Nevada forums.
Within two weeks we had more then ten e-mails but only answered four that seemed not to be playing games.
We had nine pictures of the car at our house on the ad. The family that bought it found it on the Sacramento Ca listing. They lived in Nevada close to Arizona and flew out and bought the car.
We have e-mails couple times last 1 1/2 year telling us how much she loves the car and thanking us.
Listing a timeshare for rent with option to buy is so easy on Craigslist and its FREE!
