I saw this seller on e-bay and throwing it out there to see if anyone has heard of them or as is usually the case. They are a spin-off of a sometimes not so successful or reputable seller.

If you post a link to one of their auctions someone may be able to figure out who they are.

A not so successful or reputable seller? You are being very kind. More like one of the worst reputation sellers that managed to stay in business for a very long and painful bad reputation. This new entity is too new to have much feedback but since you are saying that they are a spin-off of the old then to me it answers the question.

I personally would let others test the waters for a year. I used to buy from just about anyone until I had a few that went bad.

The old entity was suspected of shilling and possibly running a ponzi scheme towards the end. The owner got sued and due to the agreement he made in court he could no longer realistically run his timeshare business. I am not saying the new entity is him but it would obviously make sense.

The auction template is different form those I've seen in the past but saintsfanfl keeps up on many of the worst eBay sellers out there.

The first thing that strikes me about his auction is the lie he tells in the description were he says all sales are final.

On eBay, real estate auctions are non-binding and timeshares are real estate. That's all I have to read to know that I would not bid on any of his auctions.
