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 ERA 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

Also consider Shontell Crawford who was at TSS and
now on her own
info@TimesharesByResale.com or toll free at 1-800-844-4099. 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.
