I advertised with buyatimeshare.com to sell my property in
I opted to continue advertising after they told me the ad was seeing a lot of traffic, and that the process often takes time. About three months later after reducing my price several times, I was contacted by email with an offer. One of their buyer specialists presented the same offer, it was $1000 less than what I wanted. Obviously, I wish I couldve got more for it, but I was happy to take $5500.
Ive tried to sell several times and have grown frustrated with timeshares in general! I was originally going to write a rip-off report, when they told me they wouldnt refund my money, but then figured I would give them some more time because of the search engine traffic they said they were getting. Im happy I actually sold this thing, although it took 5 months, Im now not paying maintenance fees anymore!

The timeshare resale scams are just a symptom. They need to do something about the timeshare scam itself. An obligation 'in perpetuity' - that passes to your children? There is almost no legal way out of the obligation, even if you don't use the facilities and want to sell it back (they won't take them back). In other words, they hawk 'property' that you cannot resell, cannot give back, and has literally no value in the market - and tell you that you have to pay 'maintenance' forever... and that they can assess 'special fees' on in order to do repairs they *should* have been doing with the maintenance fees.

Although everyone at BuyATimeshare.com wishes we could sell all timeshares in our inventory immediately, these often take time for the right buyer to find the property that is right for them. This buyer was upgrading a timeshare he already had with the resort, so it worked out well. We are glad to hear that advertising your timeshare with BuyA Timeshare.com was able to get your timeshare sold.
