Eliminate Maintenance Fees????? (by Tracey S.):

I think that one is actually for a vacation club. You pay them several thousands of dollars, they will transfer (or attempt to) your timeshare out of your name with the offer to continue in a vacation club that gets RCI getaway type inventory. The pitch is you still stay in timeshare condo's you only pay $299-799 when you want to book a week plus a small annual fee and your annual MF are gone. They will usually start with offers for unlimited week in the $20,000 range and will come down to 2-4 weeks you can book per year in the $2000-6000 range possibly depending on what you own and how hard they think it will be to "dispose" of it. The dispose of your timeshare buy giving it to bulk ebay sellers who try to sell it for $1. The travel deals are especially good and there is a chance they won't be able to get rid of your timeshare (ts developer won't allow the transfer because they know the company plans to abandon it if the can't find a taker) so the TS may remain in your name.
