need help!

hey everyone, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place but I need some help.

I few years ago I bought a timeshare at one of those high pressure sales pitches. I thought it was a good idea at the the time but now I can't afford the maintenance fees and the property taxes i have to pay every year.

Does anyone know of a place that can sell my timeshare for me? I've tried several listing companies with no luck. When I look on ebay there are timeshares going for $1. Is my timeshare that I payed a butt load for really only worth a dollar?

thanks,

Timeshares...willable, increase in value and are great for trading weeks all over the world. That's the pitch they gave you, isn't it? I used to wait tables when some of those guys came in on their days off.

You could see if there is an agency that handles just timeshares, or check with the management office to see if they have anyone that does it. You could also try Craigslist, or simply follow this link.

Your timeshare isn't worth only $1, but value in tough economic times with a bust real estate market has made it worth less, especially to you.

I'd be curious how the taxes are structured...the government may be taxing all owners at some accelerated rate, rather than each owner paying their fair share. How much are the yearly fees?
