What woould any one recomend to some one that wants to sale??? what is the best way to do it?

First and foremost rule that bears repeating is Never, ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or "cancel" your timeshare.

Second rule is to get an idea of what your timeshare is worth approximately. Rule of thumb: >90% of the timeshares out there are worth around zero. Don't expect a big payday for the sale of your timeshare. Right now, some can't even be given away.

If it appears that your timeshare has no resale value, then you may just want to advertise that you want to give it away. Here on RedWeek, there's a Bargain section where you can list for a nominal fee.

Timeshare Users Group (aka TUG; tugbbs.com) has a Bargain Deals section where, for free, you can advertise that you want to give your timeshare away. Just follow the instructions at the top of that section. If you think your timeshare has monetary value, use TUG's Marketplace ($15 for up to 25 ads).

Bidshares.com accepts free listings but don't expect a ton of response.

Craigslist is free but make sure you weed out and don't respond to the many spammers and scam artists.

E-bay costs about $70 but your timeshare ad may be buried with an avalanche of other similar ads and the auction may close without garnering any bids.

Once you find someone who wants to buy/accept your timeshare, use a qualified closing company to complete the paperwork. JRA Services (timeshareresaleclosings.com) comes highly recommended for about $275. If no money is involved in the sale, then legaltimesharetransfers.com comes recommended for about $150.
