THINK ABOUT IT. Online Newspapers charge the person placing the Ad, not the potential Renter or Buyer.
It is just COMMON Sense that if you charge people just to look at the details, or contact the Owner, they will go to many of the FREE sites instead.
Yes, I DO get junkmail from Craigslist. No big deal. I just trash them. BUT, I have a MUCH BETTER Success Rate on Craigslist than I have EVER had here.
Oh, and by the way, they are THE SAME Weeks I advertise here, FOR THE SAME Price, so your INCORRECT Logic of my week not being Desirable is ILL Informed Again...
My Comments here are CONSTUCTIVE, and HELPFUL so MAYBE Redweek would consider the Owners Point Of View, and Quit Charging the Potential Renters and Buyers so the OWNERS will have more Success when Advertising here on Redweek, AND Make them a Repeat Seller! As I stated. Until they change this policy, they will continue to discourage Owners from doing Repeat Business with them.

No, I am not affiliated with Redweek in any capacity except that I'm a former timeshare owner that tries to educate the good, the bad and the ugly concerning timeshares .... especially upfront fee resale company scams .... I despise them and their methods of stealing money from innocent, desperate people.
The REASON Redweek does not allow people to merely contact any person that places an ad here is to protect that person from spam and from the lifting of email addresses by just anybody/everybody .... it's to protect their customers.
Bottom line, if you're satisfied and successful with Craig's list then most certainly continue to list with them ..... because Redweek is not going to change their business model.
