I was wondering why so many posts were being deleted. You notice explains it. thanks.

Here is another idea, which may or may not be practical, depending on the size of your resort where your time share is deeded.

Print up cards or fliers, offering your time share at little or no cost to the buyer. Next time you are at your resort, slip these into as many doors as you can, or under windshield wipers. Use a generic email as the contact info, created just for this purpose on yahoo, gmail or another generic site.

The other thing you can do, is watch for people coming out of the time share presentations with a bottle of campaign. I have been to several presentation at different resorts, and it seems like a common practice for buyers to get a bottle. You know these are buyers, hand them a card with a description of your unit type and usage - and the generic email. They might contact you, at which time you could tell them about the right to resin the contract and purchase your unit at next to nothing.

Don't bad mouth the resort, or otherwise disparage the time share, as they will lose interest. Just tell them you need to get free of the time share, for financial reasons, or because you found another resort you want to purchase at, and can not afford two Maint. Fees.

Just keep in mind that the resort, and particularly the time share sales staff, will not take this kindly.

Good Luck.
