RedWeek charges a reasonable fee (what is it, around $50?) for someone to place an ad with extremely wide exposure for an extended period of time, much like one would have placed a classified ad in a newspaper in pre-Internet days of yesteryear. This type of advertising fee is distinctly, completely differerent from an "upfront fee" parasite charging hundreds and hundreds of dollars for providing (and accomplishing) absolutely NOTHING.
Yes, you can place an ad for FREE on Craigslist, but instead of responses from legitimate prospective buyers, on Craigslist you instead hear from "Nigerian princes", "UK Lottery winners" and other assorted (and usually only marginally literate) scammers and spammers. If you have the time or interest to deal with all of that type of incoming junk and spam, best of luck to you. Keep in mind too that for a timeshare week which may be essentially worthless, the advertising cost or venue doesn't really matter anyhow if it's something that no one wants in the first place at ANY price...
I don't in ANY way represent or speak for RedWeek, but I HAVE successfully sold (and also rented) SEVERAL timeshare weeks in recent years by advertising on the RedWeek site.
In my own personal experience, RedWeek is certainly every bit as good as any other timeshare site and is actually much BETTER than most --- for sales OR rentals. These RedWeek "discussion forums", on the other hand, have some of the most lame and ill-informed content to be found ANYWHERE among timeshare discussion forums, including (in my personal opinion) the drivel submitted (...fortunately, only occasionally) by author / alleged "expert" Lisa Ann Schreier in RedWeek's "Ask the Timeshare Crusader" forum.
