Resale websites

[Mellie2162]

Other than the Timeshare Store and Jaki's site, are there any other DVC resale web sites that you all use?

We used www.vacationonly.com and everything went very smoothly and quickly. It took under 5 weeks from beginning to end. I worked with Jerome.

There are lots of places to find contracts. Besides The Timeshare store,
atimeshares.com and Lee Reid's site that are the "specialists". I used ERA
Stroman and have now bought 2 expensive timeshare through them and had two
other contacts that didn't go through. I had a previous BW contract that
DVC bought back and a Paradise Village contract that fell through because
the seller owed more on it than he agreed to sell it for and couldn't come
up with his part.

At Stroman, I worked mainly with Steve Scott (800) 733-8846 x3149. I also
worked earlier with Jaunita Jones on the PV contract. Steve was willing in
all cases to make the low ball offers and it seems to be candid with both
the seller and buyer from what I could tell. It is my belief that the big
3, especially TSS and atimeshares seem to jack up the price. I'm not saying
that's wrong, just that it's not in the buyers best interest.

I'd also look at Timeshare Users Group (TUG),
http://www.floridavip.com/central.htm (a FSBO site specializing
in FL), Century 21 in Kissimmee as well as canvas the timeshare world in
general. Try also www.timeshares.com and
http://TIMESHARESDIRECT.com/ and Sharon Eden at
http://www.timesharesUSAresales.com/. Also consider ********
who was at TSS and now on her own
info@******************.com
The Timeshare Warehouse has some DVC inventory at
http://www.Thetimesharewarehouse.com. And Lee Reid at
http://www.disney-vacation-club-resales.com/. Contact many, tell
them what you want and how much you are willing to pay and see what happens.
Good luck.

Dean, I have to agree with you on that point. Comparing what we paid (particularly for our second contract) and seeing what price point actually passes ROFR, has to make you wonder!

Mellie, there are also listings on eBay on occasion.
