I had the same responce from Marriott when I asked how to sell it back to them. When we baught our time-share years ago they told us the price would increase and it was a good investment. No way, they want you to give it back for free!

Well, as you found out the hard way, timeshare sales people are notorious for lying or telling half-truths during the sales presentation. One of the biggest lies most sales people tell in order to get you to buy is what you said above. Unfortunately, if you read the contract you signed, it will say that what the sale person said has no weight, only what is written in the contract. And it's possible that the contract (in those dozens of pages) somewhere said that your purchase would not increase in value.

So if you want to get rid of it, you will have to swallow that hard pill and give it back for free unless you think it has some resale value. If you think you can get some money for it, then list it on a reputable timeshare resale site like here on RedWeek, E-Bay, Craigslist, or Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG").
