.... we just don't want to own our timeshare anymore. we bought 3 bdrm, 2.5 ba everyother year, with floating weeks for 13,000. we paid $199.00 to a company called IBD marketing back in July and haven't seen our listing anywhere on their website. Please help us on the best way to sell this thing.

Consider yourself fortunate that IBD stole only $199 of your hard earned money ... normally their upfront fees are much more than that.

==================== Since you DO have the timeshare, you need to save as much money as possible by refinancing the way you are paying for it. Resorts usually offer immediate financing for your convenience until you can choose a lower-rate method of financing the purchase such as a home equity loan. Then they get paid off in full and you pay less interest. Once it is paid off (from their point of view) you have a better chance of selling, but you may still be better advised to learn to use and enjoy it. Wasn't that the idea when you bought? Believe it or not, there are a lot of happy timeshare owners out there. If this were not true, they would not be able to build more and more, bigger and better. MD
