Re: Vacation Property Resales (by I R.):

jayjay- I understand where you are coming from! I have also heard the horror stories of people being taken advantage of! I do not personally have any experience with actually selling a timeshare online, I have only used the rental services from this company. There is a fee, I paid once for a lifetime membership, and have already rented four times. The fee I paid was recouped in my second rental, so it is pure profit at this point. I understand that everyone's situation is different-- in my case, I've been happy with the process and the money I've made from my rentals. davew- I think that you couldn't have worded it better! It seems like a lot of people are hoping for a quick fix, and many don't take the time to properly research their options. These people undoubtedly get taken for a ride by the scam companies. It took me a couple of months to make the decision to list with this company--I wanted to make sure that they were legit before paying the fee. My contact person, Quincy Browne, I think his name was(?) really took his time to explain the process in full, several times actually, although a sales person he showed me independent web traffic companies to prove their results, I believe one was alexa.com. I found others doing research on my own, but again I’m not making a recommendation, but only stating my experience. Like any industry, the timeshare industry has good guys and bad guys, and you have to sift through them all before committing to one. It seems that these guys wouldn’t be in business if the resorts would actually help their customer base with reselling or renting!
