Recommended by unspecified "someone"...
Sell My Timshare Now was recommended to me by someone. <snip>
It would be more informative to know
why this unspecified "someone" made any such recommendation, as "participant perspective" matters a whole lot.
Would-be
sellers, as you've already discovered, must pay a hefty (I'd be more inclined to say exorbitant) fee to list with SMTN, with no guarantees of success.
Would-be
buyers can and do find bargains from SMTN, which has by then
already collected four figures from the owner, and the owner who ponied up that four figure fee might very well be nearly desperate to "bail out" and therefore be quite ready and willing to accept a "lowball" offer). It happens.
In short, your "recommending" party may be someone who found a great bargain as a buyer and is happy about having done so. It's frankly hard to imagine there being many "recommendations" from sellers who paid over a thousand dollars to list and likely saw only a fraction of what they expected to receive in proceeds when their timeshare finally sold (...if, in fact, it ever got sold
at all).
