I was listening to Clark Howard on the radio this evening and a guy called in about selling his TS, saying he'd been unable to sell and would give it away, and would even be willing to pay someone a reasonable amount to take it. He didn't mention the name of the TS. Clark told him there was no aftermarket for timeshares and it's impossible to sell a TS in this economy. He also said the only legitimate upfront fee company he knew of was Donate for a Cause.
I like Clark and think he generally gives good advice but although his statement is true for a lot (probably most) TS's, he's way offbase saying there's no aftermarket for TS's. Hundreds of TS's are sold on the aftermarket monthly and many TS's at quality resorts during peak periods still bring a fair amount of money on the aftermarket. I wish someone could convey this information to him.
