I can rent either my NH or my VA unit for $700 and it more than covers my MFs. There are people on TUG who own 10-15 units and more and are continuously trying to rent them out. I could never see myself even buying that many.mike1536 wrote:I just want to throw my 2 cents in... Ihave listed units at two different resorts on RedWeek, TUG (free), and Vacation Timeshare Rentals (free). I've had inquiries and have rented via RedWeek and VTR. Nothing from TUG. With VTR I can see how many times my ad is being viewed. Good or bad, at least I know the page is opened. I don't think it is too complex to add counters, but id RedWeek staffed by full time employees, volunteers, or people who are doing this as a "side business". Other suggestions have been made; the response is always "we'll pass it along to the people who maintain web site".Mike, I like Tug and Redweek and dislike things about both also! Changes are a good thing with these companies.
The one thing that has always popped up with Tug rentals seems to be to many outside rental companies or people who are trying to rent for others stating they own these units but know nothing of the resort!
Many of these people are just asking for way to much money(over pricing) for a week!
The last minute list is good and bad because owners can dump a unit at last minute and get some money back at a $100 a night.
I would never do this,spent to much money buying and yearly fee's to just let someone steal a week for nothing from me. This is why I have always said buy where you enjoy going and pick your week to use. This way you can always use it if not rented or exchanged. To many owners grab a hot week thinking of making money and later are stuck and can not use it and this is a waste of owning their timeshare.
I feel now renters that have been lucky and rented a top resort for these cut rate prices will now wait every time!
More people will pass up a good deal four months out hoping for a owner to be in trouble and list on there.
I have seen companies dump 10-15 units at one time on the site and here you have owners who paid on the classified trying to rent their unit and this just knocks there chances out the door. At least now its free!
Changes/updates and more information are a good thing!
