The goal is to price it so that the market (buyer) will be interested. Many people price their resales far too high. It doesn't matter what you paid for your timeshare initially (rather from the developer or resale) it's what the market (buyer) will pay that counts. However, some weeks can't even be given away ... it's all about supply and demand.
I have a timeshare at St Thomas that I have been trying to sell for over 2 years. I used My resort network and had 1 bite and that was it (it is still listed on there after 1 1/2yrs). I have looked into charities and the one I own they will not accept. I had it listed with Island consulting realty and they dropped Bluebeards castle due to all the problems going on (there are a lot of lawsuits going on and the resort has gone down hill ). The 1 bite I had the lady was very interested until she read all the reviews on the property. I have listed it for free buyer paying closing cost and listed it free and I would pay closing cost and still no bites. I even contacted companies on Ebay that had this timeshare listed and told them it was free and even they said they didnt want it due to all the problems. I have listed it on craigs list numerous times- again no bites! Does anyone know if there is a legal way to get out of a deed timeshare without foreclosing on it? I hate to foreclose but I have never even used this resort in the 5 years I have owned it and have to get out of this! The maintenance fee is outrageous!!! I have tried everything I know! There has to be a way out of this.
Hi Susan,
You might try adding your timeshare to RedWeek.com. Price it correctly and you might be able to get out from underneath it.
Best of luck!

Have you tried bidshares.com?
