So, then it seems that you have taken on a sort of "protective" role towards the other, perhaps less knowledgeable, forum members. I can appreciate that entirely, and think it is commendable to spend so much energy assuring that others do not get ripped off. I simply ask that you allow for the fact that maybe there are a handful of companies out there that have the capability to assist people in selling or renting their timeshares. You can label me a shill if you like. But unless I am breaking a specific rule, I think that in this open and public forum, I should not be chastised for unbiasedly detailing my experiences, no?
Sorry I missed your post above .... no, we do not timeshare any longer but we previously owned 9 timeshares and we sold all 9 before the economy crashed, we traveled extensively for 5 years and we finally got the travel bug out of our system.
Now, about ALL companies that charge an upfront fee to supposedly sell your timeshare .... let me ask you this, would you pay a realtor an upfront fee to sell your house ... no, the realtor has to work hard to sell your house and they get their fees at closing. Why in the world would you pay a timeshare resale company an upfront fee for doing absolutely nothing .... all they want is that your upfront fee.
