Redweek New rates

Redweek Price Increase

I went to Redweek today and there is a note saying

"Attention: Price Increase
Posting prices are increasing on Monday. Take advantage of the current rates by posting your timeshare now. "

Does anyone know what the new posting prices will be?

 

[BocaBum99]

It looks like Redweek increased their price to post to $19.99. I wonder what that will do to their volume of listings?

I think this may have exceeded my pain tolerance. Myresortnetwork.com is only $14.95 and buyers don't need to pay a fee to see your listing.

What do you think?

I gave up on them about a year ago.

When they increased (the membership fee) or at least the fee to be able to read ads and contact posters.

Unfortunately, I have not found as good a replacement site. Althought I must say I really don't miss Redweek.

New Redweek rates

The new posting prices are:

Rental & exchange postings: $19.99 for 6 months
Resale postings: $49.99 for one year

There will be discounts for multiple listings, but have not seen that posted yet.

Ouch! $50 for a resale listing? Ouch!

 

[wbtimesharer]

At that rate, a 7day listing on ebay would probably sell faster than redweek and cheaper. The rental still isn't a bad deal considering its over 6 months.

Don't forget you also have to pay to be a member in order to post a week. $9.99 for 6 months or $14.99 for a year.

New bulk discount rates

Received from Redweek customer service:

The discount is 25% on all postings after your 15th active posting. 15%
on all postings after your 5th.

I didn't see this one before.

Myresortnetwork.com will be the place to go from now on because I cannot see paying that much to list on redweek, especially with their membership fees on top of the listing fees.

Maybe sellers will abandon their site and find something new. Crownshare.com has unlimited postings for one low price. I think it was only $19.95, but they need to add their site to more search engines to be really effective.

Is it any wonder their owner reportedly moved to Hawaii recently?

I just listed a bunch of weeks to sell, I used to list on both Redweek and My Resort Network.. there is no way I'm paying that much for a for sale ad on Redweek.

I guess its good for him , if he can get it..
I'm signed up on the email list for new listings at quite a few resorts. I get about one email for a new listing per month.
I guess he's making money.. its cheaper than $500 that some people charge.

The owner did not move to Hawaii, he has a vacation home there yet still resides in Washington State

I've seen very little traffic from their site over the last year and have no plans to relist anything with them when my listings and membership run out.

I think charging lookers is a terrible idea. I wouldn't pay it with so many other sites available.

It was a good idea that greed has probably killed. Too bad.

I just went to look at a few listings on Redweek. It seems that many people took advantage of the last few days of the old pricing. Remember what we said last year? We said that we didn't think people would reupp. It seems that they have.

The price we have paid Redweek over the past few years has been really low. If there truly is lots of qualified buyers and renters going to Redweek, then the rates could be worth it.

If I was virtually guaranteed to rent or sell my timeshare, I'd pay double their prices.

Redweek has been successful for us

We have rented on ebay, bidshares and redweek. Lately Redweek has been really coming through for us. Ebay seems to be a buyer's market right now for rentals. And if your ad does not take off, you can lose a substantial amount. I have seen the same vacation weeks sell for a huge variation in prices. Redweek is always on, does not have that auction deadline, and a lot of people use it. We have used it both as renters and owners. If it costs $20 and you actually get a good price for your rental it is a fair transaction.

While I am

unhappy with their increased costs, Redweeks out performs the other sources by at least 3 to 1 on rentals and sales for us.

I get lot's of lookers on myresort, some on tug, the charging for contact information tends to increase the quality of the clients on Redweek.

Better quaility= higher close rate= more cash for us

We will be staying and taking advantage of the discount for multiple listings.
fwiw,

Greg

Might explain why I saw much fewer listings than I expected to see for SW Florida and the Keys. However, for a total cost of $65 to sell a TS with a 6 month listing and a year's membership doesn't sound bad IMHO.
