I won an audition on skyaudition - so I am going March 4 - 11 - to Orlando - staying at Celebration Resort - and on tues and thurs OKW - so I get all the early entry things....

I can't wait!!!

How does sky auction work? We will also be down there at that time!

www.skyauction.com
click on usa/canada
click on florida only (right side)
click on hotels only (right bottom)

this list includes hotels as well as timeshare.

right now there is a Silver Lake - March 4 - no bids - so if you are patient and can wait - I would bid on it tomorrow around 5 minutes before it quits - 6:00pm Eastern time - 2/25/2005 - it is for a 1-bedroom condo. this is the closest non-disney resort to the AK. You might be able to get it for $211 for the entire week.

this is run by RCI (the biggest exchange company) - so all the stuff is real.

however make sure you are register and everything - before you try to bid on it.

you can tell timeshares from the other stuff - they are listed as 7 days only -

if you have any questions about one - just ask.

I got mind for $224 (I bid half hour before it closes - and someone else bid 10 minutes....) anyway I did get it!!! this is for the entire week.

Congrats on such a good deal.
I've tried several times on Sky Auction...but the only one I won was air to Europe and I cancelled because of 9/11 and didn't get any money back...so I'm a bit shy of trying again (tho the African Safaris did catch my eye!)

I only bid on stuff that comes from RCI - I know they will follow through.

you are far more adventurous than I am...

 

[umaangel00]

are all these auctions on skyauction from RCI?

 

[spiceycat]

no only the timeshares, and then only the timeshares that say extra charge $195 + $15 - the timeshares that are treated as hotels $32 per day charge - are NOT from RCI.

I guess I am giving up on skyauction. I don't know how to use it.
