Did you read the original post? If you are a Wyndham owner, check out that post.
If it's not a Wyndham (or even if it is), besides contacting the resort's Homeowners' Association and asking if it will take it back, you can try advertising it for "sale" in RedWeek's Bargain Basement. Other reputable sites are E-Bay, Craigslist (just be prepared for a lot of spammers and scam attempts), My Resort Network, or Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG"; tugbbs.com). If you are really serious about getting rid of your unit, you can offer to pay the closing costs (about $200) and even the following year's maintenance fees.
Whatever you do, never, ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or "cancel" your timeshare. That is almost always a scam.
