I saw this auction on ebay.
Is it a new business model of PCC? Or they are legit?
Seems like the seller is Galaxy Transfer Solutions and they guarantee getting rid of buyer's TS.
Here's the listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...88683&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1

And below is from their listing:

Our program is simple:
Your account with the resort must be current with no outstanding fees, mortgages, special assessments or liens. If Maintenance Fees are due within 180 days, they must be paid and you have the option of retaining use for another year.
A Timeshare Property Information form will be emailed to you at close of auction for you to complete and email back to us.
After review, we will send you a Transfer of Ownership Agreement form for signature authorization.
Return the signed Transfer of Ownership Agreement form along with a copy of the property recorded deed by fax.
Galaxy Transfer Solutions, LLC will create a new deed transferring the property from you to us and mail it to you for signature(s) and notarization.
Return the signed and notarized deed to Galaxy Transfer Solutions, LLC with applicable payment (via paypal, credit card or certified funds.) (the fee schedule will be sent to you with the Timeshare Property Information form. The $99.99 fee will be part of the total fee.)
Galaxy Transfer Solutions, LLC will complete the deeding process transferring the ownership out of you name. A copy of the recorded deed will be emailed to you.
The ownership transfer process will take approximately 45 business days to complete. Once the resort transfer is done, an email of the resort notification will be sent to you.

I am guessing that just as with other similar companies, they will only take intervals that have at least some value, or can be deeded back to the resort.

It could also be that they have created a judgement proof entity, an LLC in this case, and plan to transfer many valueless timeshares to the LLC. Where the LLC will become a very S.....L......O......W or non-payer.

Once the auction closes, you will be sent the Timeshare Property Information form. We will notify you within 24 hours of your approval. Unfortunately, there are some properties we do not take. If your property is one we do not transfer, we will refund your $99.99 fee immediately. If you have a Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton or WorldMark Timeshare, email us immediately for special pricing! Should you have any questions, please feel free to email us!
Seems to me it's just another advertising venue where unless you have what they deem a highly prized timeshare (where their fees may be less).... their paperwork will say you owe an additional $3400 in fees.

The fact that the company does not disclose its fee until the $99.99 is already paid seems like a clear indication to me that this is a scam.

I'm guessing Walter just woke from his New Year celebration:rofl:

Probably so and has a hell of a surprise coming.

Walter also doesn't pay attention to the MF's he pays and has misrepresented them.

Perhaps he could offer to pay his divorce lawyer by signing over the TS as he dreams on.

I keep looking at timeshares on Ebay, and I'm interested in Wyndham ones especially. But I've never seen this one yet, no wonder, because I'm searching for "Wyndham", not "windum"!!

guess after the GI joe thing stopped they needed another way to make money.. so why not rip off timeshare owners..

all the feedback if for the GI joe stuff not the timeshare stuff..

slick way to make you look good on paper, and make people trust you for the SCAM...

bet they take so long to do the deal or not, the time to put feedback in past and you are not able to post negative comments..warning the rest of the lambs heading to slaughter. :bawl:

ebay sucks for that.

No Feedback

I started to read the sellers feedback, and there is no feedback on this service. The feedback is for selling GI Joe type merchandise.

If it is a Scam, no one has given it a negative feedback. Then again, there could be no negative feedback because no one is falling for their Scam.
