Selling... (by KC):

jaya32 states / asks in part: >>Other than TUG II, would RedWeek and Craigs List be the best places to place ads? I understand that eBay is no longer a very viable medium to sell timeshares?<< =============================================

The above inqiry / semi-ad should have been posted as a new thread of its own instead of being inserted into the topic already under discussion, but I'll respond anyhow:

I don't know why you conclude that "eBay is no longer a viable medium to sell timeshares". However, it is certainly true that there are nearly 2,000 timeshares listed there right now (an all time high). Many are avaialable for a dollar (and many of those still won't get sold, even for a dollar). If your weeks have value (and I don't know your resorts or the value, if any, of your weeks) then eBay will certainly provide lots of exposure. However, you will be joining nearly 2,000 other listings.

Consider listing on Bidshares (free), RedWeek and MyResortNetwork (although the latter two sites involve advertising fees). If your weeks have any value and your pricing is both realistic and competitive, it is my opinion that those three really are the best advertising sites for timeshare sales. Craigslist is free --- but it is also so massive and broad in scope (and its' organization and search features so obtuse and jumbled) that it's easy for timeshare ads to just become completely buried and therefore virtually invisible there (in my personal opinion). In any case, Good luck.
