Re: sELLING MY TIMESHARE (by Orville F.):

Mike, in response to your question about where I own. I currently own several mexico timeshares and a few US timeshares including one of Diamonds resorts, Polo Towers. Which I have no intention of upgrading into "The Club" Like I said, I'll wait till everyone else gives up their units before I do it. I have no intention of paying higher maintenance fees and not knowing what I'll get. I think that even if a company such as "The Club" owns in every single resort out there, what are the chances they own the best weeks at those resorts? I have a great week, I can rent it out or trade it and I'm willing to use it, so why would I trade it for sight unseen. And pay for the right to boot. I think I'm probably not the only person that feels this way. So, even if I could trek through Europe using points, I would want to research where I'll be staying and I would be willing to pay more to get exactly what and where I want rather than take whatever happens to be available through The Club. Which, by the way I'm not knocking "The Club" after all, they are huge and they have a far reaching presence. I also like Marriots, but I'm not patient enough to just hope I'll get my weeks when I want them. I prefer fixed weeks, and the floating weeks I have are middle of the road timeshares in great locations with excellent pools and are relatively easy to get into. So if for some reason I can't get into the weeks I want I know that there is enough demand for the resort that I can easily trade into another place for the week I want. I prefer to own strong and reasonable vs luxurious and expensive or quaint and cheap (I don't mind quaint and cheap and my Royal Haciendas and Grand Mayan are luxurious).
