[Q=scottb35] I like listings without verified and protected because the final price to the renter always ends up $500 more than what is advertised. I have rented for years and have never had a problem renting straight from the owner. I don't like the added taxes and fees. There is no deal with that amount added to the final payment.[/Q] With all due respect, you are apparently confused and mistaken. If an owner handles his / her own RedWeek-advertised rental and chooses [b]only[/b] to become "RedWeek Verified" for the additional $14.95 fee, there is [b]absolutely no additional cost to the renter[/b]. No additional taxes, no additional fees and certainly no "$500". I have no idea how or why you might somehow believe otherwise, but you are mistaken. I have conducted numerous rentals on RedWeek as a timeshare owner over the years, "RedWeek Verified" only, and [b]there has never once been one penny of additional cost to the tenant above the advertised rental cost [/b]. None, zero, zippo.
