Frustration with getting rid of timeshare albatross (by Alfred C.):

This weekend I filled out an online form to donate my Timeshare through "donateforacausenow.com. It is supposedly reputable. Yesterday I got a call from a rep. and he said I had a very desirable timeshare and he could easily sell it for @ $7000. I asked what is the bottom line. Well, he said "we have to clear the title" and Chicago Title can do that for only $599.00 and then all the paper work can go through after we sell the Timeshare and then you will easily get your $599.00 back. I asked him how they could sell it better than I could on TUG or RedBook. He said that it takes professionals that know how to get the ads out to the right people. Does anyone "smell a fish" here? Or am I unnecessarily pessimistic. This is supposedlly a reputable donation outfit. Are there any good ones out there? I really want to get rid of this stupid timeshare!
