Re: Successful Resales & Rental Feedback Wanted (by Beck):

I'm probably the only person who had success selling units thru a scam company, and it was a one time event for me out of hundreds of calls and maybe a dozen contacts I reviewed.

Redweek has generated leads for me but the vast majority of customers are not willing to rent right now at a fair price relative to the cost of maintenance nor anywhere near a fair price relative to direct rentals. I get better rental rates at Sell My Timeshare Now and you can choose between a one year listing and a never ending listing (assumes you list the property for sale as well as for rent), but their add rates are a lot higher. In this market the higher rates can at times nullify the higher rents, so my perpetual listings are paying off over multiple years but I've been reluctant to pay for additional adds. I haven't been willing to use VRBO but rental rates listed there are markedly higher than those on Redweek. People say they get their units rented. I just haven't been willing to spend the money, it's high like SMTN.

I've used auctions and free listing sites which have been hit and miss. I prefer to pay for a listing after securing a customer at a fair price, but that is not a common advertising model and in this market getting a fair price is difficult.
