We are current with fees and own at Powhatan Plantation Williamsburg VA. where fees are $1250.00 per yr. We have not used it in many yrs. this is so wasteful and we can't get any help from Powhatan they simply will not return calls. any suggestions as to getting rid of this elephant on our backs....TIA

First of all, the cardinal rule in such a situation is to never, ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or "cancel" your timeshare. If you haven't already, you'll probably start receiving calls from operations promising you miraculous help if you pay them a fee upfront.

Try advertising here in RedWeek's Bargain section that you want to give this away. You can also try advertising on E-bay, Craigslist, Bidshares, or My Resort Network.

Also, Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG; tugbbs.com) has a Bargain Deals section where, for free, you can advertise that you simply want to give your timeshare away. Just follow the directions at the top of that page.

Remember, it takes time to find a taker so don't panic if you don't receive any bona fide inquiries in the first month or so, then turn to one of these parasitic outfits to get you out of your timeshare.
