The TUG marketplace is not the only place with ads for outrageously priced timeshares. The timesharesonly website is FULL of ads for way overpriced timeshares. IMHO a better way to go about buying what you want is to do your price research (and TUG is a great place for that), choose the resort(s) you want, decide what the maximum is that you are willing to pay and then reply to these ads with the amount you are comfortable offering and let them know it is a take it or leave it offer. Likely you will get a lot of "leave its" but if this was done by buyers more often, it wouldn't take long for the sellers to figure out what they can reasonably expect to get for their timeshare and sooner or later you as a buyer will have some one say "I'll take it".
