Hi All,

It's been awhile since I've posted anything! I have a friend in need of some assistance an I know you all will have the answers that she needs or to be able to point us in the right direction. She has an every other year 1 bedroom week 28 at VV Berkshires, she has never used the week and deposits it to RCI instead. Her MF is around $500 per year and she just wants to be done with it. I suspect that I already know the answer in terms of value but, Is this week 28 worth anything (there is no loan, just MF)? Also, is it likely that she can just offer it back to VV and have them accept?

It's not completely worthless, but your suspicions are pretty accurate. That week is worth 16 TPU in RCI which is pretty awful assuming the full MF is around $1000. VV does not have an active deedback program. Some individuals have had luck emailing them and providing hardship proof, but VV taking it back seems to be very YMMV. You could try a post in the Free Timeshares forum to see if there is any interest. I'm not familiar with that resort, so the area or week may have some appeal to someone.

Second the first response. She will have to go the free route if she wants to get rid of it. A couple of free ones are posted on TUGG marketplace and Redweek.
Maybe juice up the offer with paid MF for next year?
