Re: Why would someone sell a timeshare for $0? (by Don P.):
I just deeded back two timeshares to my home resorts. When we first bought them we would travel every year and we enjoyed exhanging them. We used RCI as an exhange company. Since then RCI was taken over by a greedy corporation that began selling the good weeks on the open market depriving the owners of the good exchanges. Our lives changed over the years and we don't want to travel as much anymore. We were still obligated to pay the maintenance fees and taxes every year. Then there were the special assessments. They can easily be thousands of dollars that you will be responsible for paying. My best advice is to look at the timeshare rental listings and rent one that is available rather than commit yourself to a life long obligation you might regret.
