I agree with the above .... my husband retired in 2000 then we got into timesharing and we traveled for 5 years .... we are to the point now that traveling with the constant packing, unpacking, packing and unpacking got to be old AND we got to the point that we didn't want to stay away from home for an entire week .... we now prefer much shorter stays of 1-2 days (locally since we've moved to the NC mountains with the Smokies being practically in our back yard and there's so much to see and do) ... we were successful in selling all of our timeshares before the bad economy hit, thank goodness.

My question is how you went about selling your timeshares. We have much the same problems now on travel, but I am at a loss on how to sell our points timeshare all I get now are cold calls from upfront listing companies.

Like I said above, we sold all of our timeshares (all but one we bought on the resale market) before the market crashed. Even though we had timeshares in very nice resorts in nice locations, we probably couldn't give them away now as many people simply can't afford the rising yearly maintenance fees. As far as selling points ..... we were in the fixed weeks system and know absolutely nothing about selling points .... there are SO MANY different points systems out there now.
