I bought three timeshares on Ebay...$295 (before I found TUG), $2.50 and $1.
All but the last have some kind of 'closing costs' associated with them. In calling one resort...they have no transfer fee. The tax stamp is only a couple of bucks for the weeks (OBX in NC) for the county fee (not sure if there's an additional fee that didn't show up on the deed).
The last auction is for 2011 use and "closing costs paid by seller".
I'm assuming that places like Vacation Innovations (the first two), Premier Vacation Property (the last), and other sellers are getting some kickbacks (or are just a satellite office of) from closing company? Or do they get money from the seller to dump their timeshares for them?
Thanks!
