Doing some research for possible For Sale by Owner timeshare, did a filter for Marriott / Western US.

Was surprised to see that nearly all were broker listings. When did that happen? Have individuals given up trying to sell?

I got my first resale unit from a fellow Tug member so Tug is always my first place to start looking as I see a good mix of broker and individuals selling. Maybe because I am not looking at a specific brand, rather I am looking for specific locations, that I don’t see the trend you mention.

If you can get on the list for a brokered resale through Marriott, you can usually get more than selling it. It may take an extra year or two but if you can get an extra $2000-$3000 that practically pays for the extra MF's. If you own something that is basically a give away you might as well do a deed back because it is faster.
