You can donate your time share for a tax deduction. Here's the website

There are other agencies that take timeshare donations, but charities will only accept timeshares that they know they can quickly sell. So if you had trouble selling it, the charity probably won't take your TS.

If you own a TS which is at a popular resort during a high demand season, the charity will probably accept it.

RedWeek has a "Bargain Section" for cheap resales. The TUG ( www.tugbbs.com ) has a thread where TUG owners can list a "Bargain Deal". The TUG Marketplace (www.tug2.com/timesharemarketplace) also has a Bargain Basement section.

You can also list your TS on eBay, bidshares, and craigslist. To further entice buyers, you may want to pay for any closing costs or transfer fees.
