It's been a while since I've been in the market, but I found a good little timeshare today with only $97 bid, no closing cost, $100 transfer & MF of $600

Obviously this was no Marriott.

But what gives? Is it just the economy?

Are the Maintenance fees skyrocketing?
Are they all soon in need of renovations and a Special Assessment?
How's their cash flow?

53 Marriotts and the Marriotts aren't doing the ROFR?

Does someone know something or have a guess why this is happening.

Assuming that there are over 4 million timeshare owners (guess) and Marriott has 250,000 owners (guess) and the economy is tanking (not a guess) and annual dues are due in the next month (not a guess), then I am guessing that is why so many people are selling.

It probably has more to do with the poor economy more so than the MF bills showing up. I am sure there are some listings due to MF coming up. Probably some due to both also.
