Re: Getting rid of your timeshare (by R P.):

Generally in house sales get much higher prices than other sales listing sites like Redweek. I own a summer beach week that I bought on ebay for $300. I had it listed a couple of places for under $1000 and didn't even get any inquiries. The lowest price by the management company for a similar unit was $3000. They sell a couple each summer at that price or even slightly higher. They do charge a minimum commission of $2000. Even with a fairly high commission, on site sales just seem to get much higher prices.

The in-house salespeople evidently sell to unknowing people that have no idea what the real value of the timeshare they bought is on the resale market, especially in this economy, and they charge a $2000 commission on top of that ..... sheesh.

In this day and time of the internet and Google at one's fingertips (all public libraries have computers for use) people should research resale timeshares back and forth before they sign on the dotted line.

Again, what someone is ASKING for their timeshare and what they may actually GET are two completely different things.
