I am quite curious about this site. Sounds pretty good. If you can get a week for say under $10 (but of course there is always taxes and surcharges - for a week it seems to usually be $195.) thats still a pretty good deal for one of these places:

Westgate Vacation Villas
High Point World Resort
Silver Lake Resort
Cypress Pointe Grandvillas
Summer Bay
Ramada Vacation Suites at Orlando
Fairfield Orlando at Cypress Palms
Vacation Village at Parkway
Celebration World Resort

Anyone stayed at any of these places?
 
I used it for our honeymoon in June. WE choose the Silver Lake resort. I have heard nothing but good about skyauction. How can you beat it? The total charged to my credit card was $235 for a week. Just make sure you read the fine print. Some auctions are only good on certain dates. Other than that, I am quite pleased with them. I will let you know when we get back in JUNE!!!!
 
I used them and stayed at the Westgate Lakes (which I think is different from the Westgate Vaction villas) I liked Westgate Lakes, but have seen some bad reviews of Westgate Vacation Villas. I never even got hit up for a timeshare presentation.
 
I used it & picked Westgate Vacation Villas for the first week of June. I know there have been some bad reviews on this place. My sister stayed there (last Oct) and said she liked it & had no problems. She traded into it and was never bothered by a timeshare sales pitch?? I will let every one know how my stay was. I got a 2 bedroom for 6/2-9th for a total of $179 Bid, $195 service & $15 doc fee.... not bad for a 7 night 2 bedroom stay?!?!
 

I thought these were likely time share places. As long as your not bothered about that, it sounds like it would be a heck of a deal. Sure am looking forward to hearing your reviews when you get back - thanks!
 
We stayed at Westgate Vacation Villas this April 21-28 via skyauction for $252. I went with some trepidation due to the negative experiences a number of people have reported on these boards. As for our experiences-- particularly considering the low cost-- I couldn't have been happier.

It's a large and sprawling complex but is quite close and convenient to the parks. I suppose the condition of the units varies but ours was quite satisfactory-- the table top was sticky but little wrong other than that. Personally, I wouldn't rate it as 5-star, more like 3&1/2 to 4-star. The units (ours was 2 BR/ 2BTH) are quite roomy and would well accomodate a large family or 2 couples. If I'd paid twice what I did, I still would have been pleased.

We did not have to endure a timeshare presentation. My understanding is that for these reservations arranged through skyauction that we are viewed as RCI owners who have traded into a week's stay. Upon being taken to our unit, our host did make mention of wanting to take us to breakfast and having the so-called "maintenance meeting" to which others have alluded. I told him to check back later in the week. I don't know whether he attempted to or not-- our phone rang the day before check-out and we ignored it.

All in all, it may not have been the nicest place we've ever stayed but undoubtedly it was the best deal I've ever gotten. Hope other's experiences will be as positive as ours was.
 
thanks jmhillrph - its good to hear some people have been satisfied with Skyauction. I will likely give them a try for my next vacation.

I appreciate all the comments on Skyauction. Sounds positive and worth trying. Thanks!
