HI an welcome to TUG!
They are going to charge you $2,000-$3,000 to "take your timeshare off your hands."
This is the cold hard truth: Unless you own one of the top timeshares like Disney, Marriott, or Starwood, your timeshare is selling for 0-10% of what you paid for it, on the resale market.
The best bet to get rid of a timeshare is to give it away yourself for little or no cost: There are two places on TUG where you can give away your Timeshare for free (no charge for the Ads.) There are other cheap and free sites on the internet, as well.
TUG Marketplace - the only cost is your TUG membership - $15 (List it for $1 and it will automatically go in the Bargain Basement Ads.)
Bargain Deals - Totally FREE! - just write a simple post with all the pertinent info. In your post, include the following info.:
-resort name
-unit size
-season owned
-maintenance fee
-current reservations
To make it more attractive I would:
1) Pay 2010/2011 maintenance fees and don't ask for reimbursement.
2) Pay for the title transfer (you can get a simple professional transfer for about $100) I've used this
licensed document Prep. company and the owner is a Tugger. - Note, this is my personal recommendation, not as a representative of TUG.
3) Reserve a popular holiday week in 2010 or 2011 for the new owner
Good luck!
