Default Sell Timeshare for Free

Quote:
I have been on a quest to sell my timeshare for free and avoid the upfront costs timeshare resale companies demand in order to sell my westgate timeshare in orlando. I thought I could get a broker to handle the resale but could not find one that would work a westgate timeshare...why is that?
I know there are timeshare brokers out there that help with selling some timeshares, but I think for them to sell the timeshare it must be pretty a high demand property. Then the commission are pretty high as well.

tried craigslist(free) without any bites and then ebay(not free) and the offers/bids were way too low and it was troublesome because i was hammered with emails, questions about closing and what i though were a couple of scams...?
My advice? Forget ebay and keep at it with cragslist-- it's free after all, so why not? Also consider a GOOD timeshare resale company that gets broad exposure. While not a free timeshare selling method, most have a money back guarantee if the timeshare is sold by an alternate method.

Now, i'm thinking selling this timeshare for free is never going to happen. very shy to pay a fee and routinely get calls from timeshare resale companies promising a lot for a pretty big fee. they promise way too much money for the sale of the timeshare and in a very short time frame "guaranteed", but my research tells me they are totally off in what i can expect and how fast it will take to sell.
Best advice yet- Stay away from the telephone, mail, email timeshare resellers! Horror stories are everywhere about these guys.
