Help me sell a timeshare in Williamsburg, VA

[hossoso]

I can't get rid of it. I got a new one and they told me they would take care of selling the old one within 90 days. This was almost a year ago. It is a very nice place in Colonial Williamsburg and you can change the location for one anywhere in the Interval system. This is turning into a total ******* headache, anyone have any experience with this?

Why did you buy a timeshare in Williamsburg?

 

[hossoso]

Drunks are highly susceptible to aggressive, relentless sales pitches from attractive women. Do you want to buy it or not?

Time shares are a big waste of money. I have no words of encouragement nor can I help in any way. I knew that and yet still clicked on this thread. It's the SF way.

That's funny. No, sorry, I am not interested.

Depends. My parents bought in one Vegas in the 80s. Fully paid up, and despite the annoying monthly "maintenance fees," it's been a good deal. They've successfully exchanged time all over the world, including Paris, Portugal, Austria, Sedona, Hawaii, etc. Does require a good amount of lead time, however.

OP, no clue how to help you. Is the timeshare outfit contractually obligated to help you in selling your older timeshare or was it a good faith promise by an attractive, but aggressive sales woman after having served you a few midori sours?

timeshares (except for teddie's case) are the epitome in the albatross around one's neck.

A guy I know had a similar situation. He called 1-800-sellmytimeshare or something and they unloaded it for him at a pretty steep discount.

I think some savvy financiers are packaging timeshare tranches into collateralized structured vehicles. You should look into it. I hear the top tranche gets Four Seasons rating.

What possessed you to buy a second time share after all the advice that they are money pits (unfortunately, as you are learning about the first one)? Haven't you read the interwebz?

Maybe you stand a better chance swapping it to another destination and keeping or selling that one?
