Re: using your timeshare for an exchange is a JOKE!!!! (by Gary M.):
The only places I know of to sell a timeshare are here at Redweek and Timeshare Users Group TUG. And if you look at the prices people are asking and getting, it's not pretty. I'm a member of RCI. I was in Interval International for a couple of years. I found that II was higher end resorts and they only had one or two thousand resorts. RCI included a wider variety (more of the middle and lesser valued resorts) and they had 6 or 7 thousand at the time. I may be way off on these numbers, but RCI had 3 times as many resorts as II. My week is a gold crown, but not a highly sought after place (Hot Springs Village Arkanas) so I don't expect a lot. I go to Florida every winter for 2 or 3 weeks. Numerous times to Orlando because it's so easy, but I'm tired of Orlando and usually try to go farther south now.
