Are MFs the reason for so many Ebay listings?

43 Hiltons on Ebay seems high.

I can see how Wydham would have 207 Timeshares on e-bay because they have so many timeshares outstanding already and the markets bad and it's MF time again.

But to see 43 Hiltons and 53 Marriotts up at once is a little overwhelming.

Just a few Disney and Starwoods

Are Hiltons and Marriotts charging too much MF for the average Joe or are people just broke in general, or is there more to it than that?

Anybody know or have an idea?

I think this issue is a kind'a out of place in this thread, but yeah, it could be that upscale resorts are getting hit harder in this economy. And who wants to pay high MF's when the rug-rats are begging for Christmas presents.

Keep in mind there are over 100,000 HGVC members. Even at 43, that certainly isn't a major run from the program. As I look now, there are only 26, and a number of those are rentals, not sales, and mostly for around New Years. Some people have booked for New Year, and can't go, possibly because of the economy. At this point, I guess they would rather try to rent to pay next years maintenance fees than save the points for future use.

I thought this was worth it's own thread.

Perhaps, but its been dormant since 11/27... until now, that is.

That would be in line, Wyndham 500,000 plus owners, 207 timeshares.
Hilton 100,000, 43.

Actually I would expect Wyndham to have a large percentage, just because of the sheer volume of owners and it does not attract the same upscale buyer that a HVGC might.

TS are a luxury and when markets go down people want to dump their luxuries.
