I almost bought a timeshare from them yesterday for this unit:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251163561812
We agreed on pricing but they wanted me to make the full payment immediately and there wasn't any escrow so I cancelled the deal. They could be legit for all I know but I didn't want to take that chance.
Their eBay feedback reputation (eBay ID is 2984carl) is good but when I looked into it further, all of their feedback except for one was from items they bought versus anything they sold.
So to each his/her own. I can understand making full payment if the unit is only worth a few hundred dollars but I don't like the idea of paying someone thousands of dollars up front.
I'll give them a call and update you with some answers. Ugggg.
I called Carl, from Leisure Getaways and he gave me the name and number of company dealing with the transaction. The company is Timeshare Trade-Ins in Branson, MO. www.timesharetradeins.com. I called but I'm in Hawaii and they were already closed for the day. Carl also said they will send me the Estoppel letter as well.
So far so good, but I'm holding my breath.
When I asked him about the feedback on ebay, his answer was that normally the closing takes more than 60 days and after 60 days you cannot leave a feedback (I looked that up and that's true).

Thanks maryjane. Did you work directly with Carl Rash or another person?
They work with www.timesharetradeins.com to handle the transaction. I'm still nervous and holding my breath to see what happens. I put a call into Timeshare Tradeins and waiting for a reply. Will keep you posted Aloha.

Update: Still waiting for closing. Was told possibly soon (this week or next). Still holding my breath
I recently purchased a Wyndham contract from Leisure Gateways Incorporated, (lgicarl) on ebay
The deal just closed and I have a copy of the recorded deed, which is off to Wyndham
There can be problems and delays with any real estate transaction and timeshares are no exception. In this case there was a delay getting the seller to sign the deed. But they finally did and the deal is now done.
Carl kept me informed every step of the way. I was never worried about my money...Thats not true...Im always worried about my money, but there was no reason for my concern.
I originally said PJ and Carl were great to work with. I take it back.
It will be 7 months in 3 days since the purchase of my Hyatt timeshare from Leisure Getaways/Carl Rash. No one should have to go thru what I have been going thru with this company. I have been lied to numerous times. Calls are not returned when promised. And, this property is still not closed. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of this team.
