I looked around a bit the other day, and couldn't find a "freebie" place here on Redweek, a place to post weeks we just want to give away.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

As far as a way to get out of TS you simply cannot give away, there is a consumer protection attorney on another Timeshare Forum that does that, on contingency. We're considering that.

Check out RedWeek's Bargain Basement section. Also, Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG"; tugbbs.com) has a Bargain deals section where you can list for free that you want to give your unit away. Just follow the directions at the top of that forum. E-Bay is also a place where you can list your unit for bids starting at $1.

The other possibility that a lot of owners seem to overlook is to simply as the resort if it will take the unit back. Some say Yes and some No. They might also do so if you agree to pay closing costs and the next maintenance fee.

As for some of these attorneys and law firms, usually all they do is negotiate with the resort for it to take your unit back. That's something you can do yourself without expensive attorney fees.
