Most people who pay up front fees to these companies never sell their TS and never hear from the company again. The only "sale" read in this thread was by someone who sold Westgate for $100,000. I'd like some to tell me on any Westgate that is worth that much on the resale market.What we need to see within this forum, are comments from people who have had successful experiences with tine share resellers as well as horror stories. To read the posts (with one exception) we would think that time shares never sell at all.
Quote:Are you signing a quitclaim deed to give the TS back to the resort? Is the resort willing to accept the quitclaim deed? If the resort, or other grantee, does not accept the quitclaim deed, then you still own the TS. You cannot use a quitclaim deed to arbitrarily assign property to another person.Before I fill out the "quitclaim deed" and just let it go, or loose my $750, I'd like to find out who actually, legitimately sells time shares.

Get out and start listing your TS yourself. All these upfront fee companies will do is list your TS on their website anyway.
In addition to RedWeek, the other popular sites are: TUG, My Resort Network, bidshares, Vacation Timeshare Rentals, craigslist, and eBay.
These sites have either no or very minimal fees to post an ad. There are some companies that will sell your TS on a commission basis, but the commissions are not cheap. One place I knew would take 15%-20% with a minimum of $1500.
There are thousands of timeshares on the market. Do the research and price it very competitively. RedWeek and TUG has bargain basement sections. If you own at a popular resort during a peak season, you should be able to sell you TS even if it for a minimal amount.
