Also - what is the advantage of this forum vs the other TUG forum ?
It seems to me $0 is a bargain basement price !
One good example I can give you is my introduction to TUG. About 2 years ago I was exploring how to write an ad to get rid of a few timeshares.
I found the TUG marketplace and when looking at ads I found a unit in DuBoise Pa that looked very interesting to me. I contacted the owner and my daughter and her husband took the unit for the cost of closing.
Great, now instead of getting rid of the four I didn't want, we now owned another. Eventually with the help of the great contributors to this site, I've disposed of all four I did not want.
It took a few days before I discovered the forums here. So I know from first hand experience that people who may find the TUG classifieds may not know about the forums.
I feel that the more places you put an ad the better. I've used Craig's List, eBay classifieds, freesource, and individual resort forums.
In addition to the free ads, your membership allows you to view resort reviews and to see the "sightings" in the forums.
