Recently purchased a two bedroom, two bath West Village unit, week 2, at Orange Lake
CC through Ebay. Great experience. Great price. Have visited the resort and like it. And the golf courses. Very pleased with the deal: $515, with annual maintenance fee of $546. And high marks to IntervalMax, which handled the deal ...

Now is the time to buy on ebay!! Even with high closing costs, these are deals. I was very tempted by an Aquamarine red season unit in Oceanside that just closed but resisted as I have too many timeshares. Darn! Funtime
PS - One of the most important things to watch is the maintenance fees as I know of no resort that has gone down in maintenance fees year after year.

Ebay Timeshare Sales

We have purchased several on Ebay at very good prices. Always tempting to purchase additional weeks.

Now I just have fun watching the sales on Ebay. We have too many weeks now.

Enough is enough. Overtime, we have bought and sold several weeks. We now have the right mix of locations and weeks.

Ebay will continue to be great place to pick up great buys for timeshare.

Ridge Tahoe - Naegle

I got an Annual 2B/2B Winter week at Ridge Tahoe - Naegle for only $563

I thought that was pretty good....!

Ok...you all are tempting me to buy just one more TS...but I gotta stop... I really do...

Are these mostly/all legit? I've always lived by the if it sounds too good to be true it probably is theme...

you should submit these as sales history records! =)

I picked up a 2BR/2B at Mustang Towers in Port Aransas, Texas, Week 42, for $50. MF is $437. I've been looking for a resale there for several years since I go to Port A every year and October is my favorite time. I probably didn't have to use the "buy it now," but I really didn't want anybody else to get it. Anyway, the total cost was $686 with closing costs & 2009 MF. This was 2 weeks ago, and the deed is already at the Clerk's office for recording. I was very happy that Timeshare Closing Service handled it since I had prior experience with them on DVC resales.

Yes - they are legit, but note that this thread is from July, so these prices are 6 mos. old. Because of the economy, a lot of people are just dumping their timeshares.

I bought an ocean FRONT unit on Kauai recently for $98 total including closing!

Ebay

prices are cheap but the closing costs kill ya

I would like to purchase multiple weeks but I am worried about the total of the maint. fees. Is there a secret to avoiding or finding low maintenance fees?

wow, someone has been goin crazy with the marriott sales history entries! Excellent =D

Brian, where is this list of Marriott sales you speak of?

as mentioned above, you would be able to view sales history data entered on each review page itself.

You can view this by browsing to the resort you are interested in, and clicking the "sales history" tab

http://tug2.com/RnR/ResortsGrid.aspx

Brian, it might be helpful to have a sales date column for those prices on the Sales Tab page. Seeing what something sold for last year or longer ago, versus last month. Big difference.

Also, on the page where it lists many resorts in an area, or the results of a search, a column could be added indicating if there is any sales data within. Just a blank/not blank toggle indicator would be helpful. Otherwise you have to click to the resort page, then the sales history tab, just to see that there's no data there.

Still, great new feature! Thanks!

tip

I have successfully done this: write the seller and offer to take if off their hands - no closing costs - just do the deal right now for a $1 - I think that the PCC want to get rid of the inventory expecially this time of year with MF due dates. It never hurts to ask, they have profit in those junk fees and it doesn't cost them that much considering what the original owner got talked into.

All timeshares have maintenance fees. That's what pays for housekeeping, gardeners, managements, replacement costs, etc. For sale Ads almost always state the MF in the Ad, and it's easy to post on TUG and ask owner's if the amount is correct. One thing you can count on is that MF's will go up, just like everything else. Current owners can give you an idea of the historical MF increases. I would expect 5% - 10% annually, and sometimes more.

You should actually be concerned about a resort with an unusually low MF, because that may indicate that they aren't collecting enough from owners on a yearly basis, and will eventually be charging a special assessment to play catch-up.

Just won an e-Bay auction

Just won an every other year--odd auction for the Ka'anapali Beach Resort for $570. Don't know if DRI will exercise ROFR.
