"Value" (by Tracey S.):

Ken, If you bought resale and it is a decent location and time of year and a well run resort that you can't easily find a rental for less than MF;s there is no reason you couldn't sell it for what you paid. If this BBB rentals is valuing a timeshare in the $15,000-$30,000 range it has got to be something extraordinary like DVC or ocean front Hawaii, or similar that can rent for 2X's or more MF.

There are probably a decent number of timeshares that could sell in the $500-and even as high as $2000 range if you are patient and active in seeking the right buyer. If you have one that fits into that category you have to decide if it is worth it to wait for the buyer who fits with exactly what you own and can see that higher value or to reduce it to $0-$500 for a quicker sale. Probably anything that could rent for 90-130 of the MF;s falls in that category. Of course there are weeks that really have no value or negative value and those are the ones that are really hard to deal with. The ones that have MF in the $500-$800 (or more range) but you can regular get them through RCI or II last call/getaways for under $300 for the time of year when you own.

It isn't necessarily about you being able to rent your week, it is also if you were going to rent something similar to what you own, how much do you think you would have to pay. If you would have to pay more or would have trouble finding something when and where you want to go (assuming that is what you own) then the week has value for you
