I’m sorry, I was under the impression that Bargain Deals were $500.00 or less?
I will post my ad elsewear.

-You may not ask the new owner to pay the maintenance fee for a usage year that you are going to keep.

What I do is put a post in it saying it is no longer available. That has always worked as others now know not to contact me about it.

Ok, we are going to try something new in hopes that it will work out and not turn into a fiasco :crash:

What this forum will serve as, is a place for members to post "smoking deals" on anything from Timeshares, to taco toppings. I dont care what it is, as long as it is a "smoking deal" it can go here.

The intent of this forum is for folks to have a place to list a timeshare they are trying to GIVE AWAY or otherwise dispose of, completely free of charge. no TUG membership is required, no fees to be paid...just list your timeshare here to be given away to a willing owner!

Any post here is subject to removal if it is not considered to be a smoking deal, and a full refund of the amount paid to post the ad will be given immediately.

This forum will of course be subject to abuse, however I hope that it will be kept to a minimum to allow this forum to continue. If not, Ill shut it off and consider it a lesson learned!

Please use your best judgement when posting "smoking deals" and ENSURE YOU WORD THE TITLE ACCORDINGLY.

"Residence club avaria week 52/penthouse, Free to good owner!" is a valid title for a smoking deal

as would be

"Woot.com selling 60GB ipods for $99.99 today only!"


"buy my timeshare" is not

This forum will also serve as a place to move posts that may be borderline advertisements from other forums.


enjoy! :banana:

We have a timeshare that we still owe money on, but would like to see if there is anyone wanting to take it over. Which forum do we post to for that?

So are you not allowed to ask for MF coverage on current points that the new owner will be receiving?

What’s the rule on how frequently you can ”bump” your free timeshare listing?

no real black and white rules...every week or so would probably be acceptable assuming you were already offering free closing/2025 fees paid etc.
