Hello- I have [a timeshare reservation in Dec.] and I haven't found a renter and can't go myself. I've already listed it on redweek and even craigslist and some other site. What (if any) are my options- Is there any value i can get anywhere?
Thanks!

1. Pay $29 and cancel the Resv. and make a new one at a location you can drive to.

2. Deposit it with II for a later exchange.

3. If you are a 4 or 5 Star Elite owner - roll the Staroptions over to 2012.

4) Is the asking price too high? Reduce It.

5) Also try the rentals section. $700 max

6) Give it to me ? :shrug: Or a friend that could use it !

Since you're in Arlington, Myrtle Beach is your only viable driveable location (Florida is a much longer drive). Myrtle Beach is not that great in December. I'd go with the II option.
