Re: Successful Resales & Rental Feedback Wanted (by Patti M.):

I do not own a timeshare, but like to rent them so I am a member of this website. I have rented from individuals a couple of times and have had really good luck. I last rented this Feb from an owner who could not use his timeshare in Maui due to a last minute medical emergency. He listed it on redweek and I e-mailed my interest. He called me back and gave me his name, timeshare he had reserved and dates. We chatted a bit about the isle of Maui. I verify with the timeshare that this person actually owns a unit and has one on reserve. Then I called him back and told him I wanted it. I felt confident enough to send a money order to the individual and after he received it, he switched the unit to my name. I called the unit and verified that the switch had been made. I have done this twice now with good luck. It does take some trust on your part and diligence in checking out the owner. However, this is much better to me than renting through hotel sites and paying huge taxes. Good luck, Patti387
