Advice re: "Marketing" thieves... (by KC):

Personally, I have NEVER paid or used ANY company to sell the few timeshares which I have sold over the years. You can virtually always do a much better job all by yourself, simply by identifying a realistic, competitive price and advertising in all of the places you can easily find openly identified in a "search" and/or a review of RedWeek postings. With a total investment of less than $100 (and yes, some required time and effort preparing ads), you can reach virtually every potential buyer on Planet Earth. That said, if yours was a developer-direct purchase, you must prepare yourself for the reality that your timeshare (no matter what or where it might be) is likely worth no more than 25% (or even less) of the original developer price when next sold in the resale market. If it's located in one of the handful of grossly overbuilt locations in the U.S., where there is currently a glut of inventory, you will certainly also be competing with many other would-be sellers.
While all of these upfront fee parasites tell various fairy tales, I've actually never before heard of one claiming to offer "airline tickets". I certainly would not hold your breath waiting for those tickets to ever arrive. If you receive anything at all (highly unlikley, in my opinion), it's just going to be discount coupons or vouchers with a long list of restrictions, limitations and conditions in order to use them at all.
I don't even know what to say about any broker who would ever recommend "upfront fee" advertising thieves, since NONE of them ever successfully sell a timeshare. In your shoes, I would certainly contact this "broker" again and at least let him / her know that he/she recommended to you an entity with which NO ONE has ever had a successful experience --- NO ONE! I (and, I'm sure, many others) would certainly like to hear about the "broker" explanantion for making any such unhelpful recommendation in the first place. Whether or not you might also want to openly name and identify that broker here for the future benefit of others is, of course, entirely up to you.
