I listed with buyatimeshare.com on 1/12 and have heard absolutely nothing from them outside of the 3-4 calls I personally made. They always give you the same response: "Sir, your property is listed with us on our website and is generating traffic". The second common response is an offshoot of the first: "We would be happy to list your property on the Hot Deals portion of our webpage to try for even more traffic". I bet you would like to list my property on your "Hot Deals" website because it costs another $400-500! I have also gotten the response that our economy is not so good right now and there is nothing we can do about that. Blah, Blah, Blah.
It is now July and nothing. NOTHING! After a year and a half of patiently waiting and feeling scammed out of $1000, I think many people would be upset. I don't feel my asking price is unrealistic, I spoke with an employee at the beginning who suggested a listing price of $15,000. When he said that, I was ecstatic because I paid about 60% of that a year or so before. I even remember asking him if this was realistic and he assured me it was a fair price. About six months went by without an offer so I called in to discuss my options and we decided on a $10,000 asking price this time. Amazing how one guy tells you $15K is fair and then six months later another guy says the price is too much. I just ran with it because I was desperate to sell my property.
I accept full responsibility for getting myself into the timeshare market to begin with, but I cannot in good conscience accept blame for the current situation with buyatimeshare.com. A timeshare is a good investment for some and if you are a happy customer then good for you. I happen to be on the other end of that argument and believe it is very difficult to organize a trip through a timeshare company.
