Re: Whos who of redweek? (by Jon S.):

David, it can be difficult to sell a timeshare....depending on where it is, week, and most importantly price.

However you will almost never, repeat never, sell your week via an upfront reseller. They simply want your upfront money and you will never hear from them again. Search the forums here and you will get a good idea. Some of us preach constantly against upfront fees, but folks continue to do it and then complain bitterly about losing their money.

There are some real estate companies that do not charge "upfront". But they are hard to find. Searching thru these forums may give you a clue. But if they want any money upfront, for any reason, hang up.

My personal advice is to list it with your resort, most of whom have re-sale listings. Talk to them and see what they offer. The other bet is to list it here on Redweek or one of the other timeshare sites, like TUG. For a small membership fee, they do a good job. But understand that it may take awhile. The most important aspect is $$$. Price it properly and it usually will work. If you purchased from a developer, you will have to price it a bit below half of what you paid.

There is always the possibility of renting it out, to cover your costs. Check the forum discussion titles at the top for additional info. This is not the best thread for the info you are looking for. Keep searching and good luck.
