What would be nice is if RedWeek would let threads like this allow members to pay RedWeek the $60 for a resale listing, then post a link to their ad in this thread. We could focus on owners who don't want to pay "thousands of dollars" to a company to take the unit off their hands, and people have a central source to view "Free" or super low price units rather than hunt for them resort by resort.

Since a good number of my posts get deleted because I write something in violation of RW rules, I'm hoping to suggest an option to help everyone. But I'm a bit concerned about the "Do not post ads for businesses, rentals, resales, exchanges or vacation requests in the timeshare forums".

By posting the link to a RW ad, would this be acceptable to RW?

Hi Peter,

We've discussed whether allowing links to postings would be a good idea for the forums and we feel that it would be better not to allow this. The purpose of the Forums is to share information about timeshares; it is not a place to advertise. We fear what will happen is people will simply start adding links to their postings on the Forums and degrade the value of our Forums pages.

Thanks, Marty
