So last year, I bought a resort from a fellow Tugger that was the right resort, the right week and the right price. Win-win-win. I think I paid $800 and had a wonderful buying experience from a lovely woman. Not the resort everyone wants but the one we wanted. We used it this past summer and loved it - the location was perfect for us and it was a great vacation.
I found another week at the same resort for the week before, which is in the same summer season with no huge value shift and we would love to have it. It is on Sell My Timeshare for $11,500. Yeah...no. It is only worth something to someone looking for that very specific resort/week and I can't imagine anyone in their right mind would pay that amount for it (unless they were in a high-pressure sales situation, I guess, which might be when they bought it).
My question - do I actually submit an offer for what I am willing to pay? Like $800. It seems so outrageous but I keep thinking there is nothing to lose. Am I wrong? Is there something I am missing by making a low, low, low ball offer? I have to give them my name and phone number which makes me uncomfortable but isn't a deal breaker. Sometimes, I don't see all the implications.
Thanks for your input.
Best,
