Re: Should I ask for interest before I ask for an exchange? (by Mark L.):
Yes, post it on Redweek until March 1st for free and see if anyone is interested.

I have tried unsuccessfully to exchange a 2BR 2BA sleeps 8 Villa at the Sheraton Vistana Resort in Orlando for something at the Harborside Resort using the Starwood on-line program and I have kept trying for almost 4 months, almost always requesting the exchange precisely on the 8 month date, but not getting lucky. So I'm trying a different tactic, and would appreciate an opinion. I reserved the Christmas Week for 2007, 12-22 to 12-29-07, in hopes that this week would be attractive enough to lure a Harborside owner into a "private" trade. So, can I post this just to attract maybe some interest and then place an ad for exchanging it ? Thanks for your thoughts.
