I AM SELLING MY TIMESHARES.

There is another option
They could rent until
They figuire it out
You know .. it’s likely a shock 😳 for them right now
the issue is an orlando westgate likely wont rent anywhere near its cost in maintenance fees. westgate lakes for instance is a VERY common option in II getaways priced well under $100 a night for week after week after week.

even right now i picked a random week in july and found westgate lakes available for 72 dollars a night for a 1br, and around 100/night for a 2br.


 
All fully paid up! Any help and reputable suggestions.
I see that you are a new TUG member. If this is your first foray into the land of timeshare resale, I suppose it comes as a shock to you that many have very little resale value. Hopefully you enjoyed using your timeshares over the years.
 
Of course, it would be a shock for anyone to learn that the "asset" that they now own outright after years of meticulously making payments is now worthless and will have to cost some greater or lesser amount of money to transfer away. But it could be worse.

During my earliest days as a timeshare owner (I had bought a Sea Villas, New Smyrna Beach week via ebay) and an RCI member, I paid for a "Last Call" week at the Vacation Village at Bonaventure as I needed to be in the Miami area. One day at the pool, a man, glowing with pride, was boasting that he had just signed the papers to buy his fourth week there. Obviously, he believed he was making a shrewd investment and that his family members would thereafter benefit therefrom.

Afterwards, I found out that no one was even bidding a dollar for timeshares at that resort on ebay.

That was a real moral dilemma for me. Should I tell him? Or should I allow him to enjoy his vacation and continue his false belief about the value of his "investments"? Which might mean he might buy even more as time went on. At the time, I didn't know about rescission periods.

But just because I thought that he should know that the weeks were valueless, I decided to as diplomatically as possible tell him but never saw him again. He wasn't at the pool when I happened to be there.

So at least the OP only bought one Westgate and not multiple Westgates.
 
I may have spoken too soon. I just reviewed this thread and the OP's original post appears as follows:

"All fully paid up! Any help and reputable suggestions."

But then responses to that post respond to the following:

"TWO 3 bedroom units.All fully paid up! Maintenance fees are $1200 and are paid too. Any help and reputable suggestions."

So the OP's original post was edited.

I'm assuming the OP is saying his 2025 maintenance fees have been paid for weeks in the future, either fixed or what may be available floating. Maybe there's some minimal value there just because of the MF having been paid and the OP presumably proposing to allow someone use in 2025.
 
Whom would you sue, and on what grounds?
Leave the poor OP alone. They have certainly gotten the message that there is no one to sue. This has to be a demoralizing shock for this owner and we can all have some empathy.
