Re: Marriott Ko Olina Beach Time share Resale (by Kari K.):

Actually, I don't think Marriott would dissuade any private sales, especially now when the economy is so bad and many people was simply walking away from their timeshares. When people "just walk" and allow foreclosure, it ties up that week(s) for a long time until foreclosure can be accomplished and it's not like they do one foreclosure at a time. When timeshare do foreclosures, they do them in bulk for many valid reasons. For them, having a private sale/transfer is in their best interest because someone new gets to pay the annual maintenance fees. If you're going to buy a timeshare from a private unknown party, please go thru a title and escrow service to protect yourself.
