Timeshare Adventures Incorp -

Has anyone sold a timeshare week through this company? I've talked to a rep., and it sounds too good to be true. They require an upfront fee of $795.00, but the fee covers legal and closing fees of a sale when it happens, and the rep quoted sales prices much higher than I've seen on other sites.

Any information on this company will be appreciated.

SCAM .... any resale company that charges a large upfront fee.

There is another thread about this company in this forum.

That being said, "the rep quoted sales prices much higher..." is usually a sign of a scam.

I also read, on their website, their money-back guarantee. It only works if you sell through another source for at least 50% of the price you list it with Timeshare Adventures. Since they list it at an unreasonably high price, they know that you will never sell it for even 50% of the price. Remember, some TSs cannot even be given away in this economy, let alone sell for such high prices.

Also, as for the $795 upfront fee, do you really need to pay that? You can advertise your property for much less. Remember that the buyer ---not the seller--- is supposed to pay the closing costs which can be done for around $300.
