We have a Marriot timeshare at Grand Ocean in prime season and have been successful in renting it easily using Red Week and easily getting a lot more than our fees for it. it's actually a good deal.

We sold ours back to Marriott- of course they only gave us half the purchase price.

Sounds like you did well. Most are worth 0.

How much is "a lot" more than your fees? How much was the initial outlay?

I see that I can buy one outright on eBay for $1200 right now for December.

If you are gifted a timeshare, refuse the gift. If you inherit a timeshare, disclaim the inheritance in writing. You may need a lawyer to do it for you.

Timeshares = scam.

I guess I assumed corporate time share sales were a thing of the past but today I get a call from Hilton about taking a cheap vacation if I listen to their time share presentation, wow!
