My opinion that Marriott claims they buy back timeshares (in the above Orlando Sentinel article) is purely public relations BS.
If that's the case then why does Redweek alone have almost 600 Marriott timeshares for sale by owners and that's not counting the thousands of other resale outlets on the internet and land based resale outlets elsewhere? I also don't believe that only 2% of all Marriott timeshares are on the resale market ..... but the article was certainly good publicity for Marriott no matter how much BS was quoted by Marriott's PR department..
