Re: view counters (by Phil L.):
Jayjay I do see that Redweek says they have a million members and I have been one of them but this doesn't mean the million go look at all the resort ads on here!
I don't see the big deal here about a counter that people have been asking for from the time I joined. It just gives more information to the owners to help them decide what to do next year.
A counter may cost more than it is worth but in all the times its been ask for Redweek has never come back and stated this or any other reason for not doing it or at least I haven't seen the answer! My point on a counter is for people that try and rent on here and get no response at least they would see that some people are looking or not looking and it would help them make a decision for next time. Since Redweek charges you to be a member and pay ad fee you want to know if anyone is checking out your resort rental site. The sites not charging doesn't matter because its free and if no one shows interest you move on or try again because it is free! It would be nice to have a counter but since it is free there isn't much that can be done with these free sites.
Redweek, Tug ,Craigs and many other sites are not for everyone no matter how good they are.
Many owners might have resorts that are just not going to be rented no matter what. Not every unit comes down to over pricing and us owners that have been around timesharing understand this and pricing.
The point is for those that never get a response they need something to help them and maybe keep them from wasting money on ads on sites that charge a fee.
I feel any information that can be gained by these timeshare forums is help for those that need it. Isn't this why we have these forums.
I can see a site that charges not wanting a counter because this would probably slow down their little cash flow from timeshare owners who think there getting something for their money! A counter will show many their wasting their money on the site while others would see the site is working for them.
