buying [Local pick up only?]

Someone has a timeshare for sale and they say it is local pickup only.
No shipping...I guess they mean the paper work.
Why is that ?

ebay requires an entry regarding shipping. None of the options really apply (after all they cant ship the timeshare to you) so most sellers check the box..."local pick up only".

You may see some sellers explain that in the body of the ad, but not all do.
 
The entire transaction can and probably will be through email, and USPS. Deeds can be scanned and made into docs to transmit electronically, as well as purchase agreements and anything else required.

I did one transaction where it was all email and no USPS. The seller held the deed already and everything was done in a couple of days.

If the seller really does want a face to face, he has cut down his market considerably.
