How To Buy A Timeshare On Ebay
Many people buy timeshares and then things happen and they would like to shed their vacation property. Actually timeshares often show up on top ten lists of things not to buy new. You can get a much better deal if you are buying a timeshare from someone trying to offload a timeshare property than buying something new at a high-pressure sales presentation. And if you are going to buy something pre-owned, where else but on eBay?
As of this writing there are about 1,400 timeshare listings on eBay. Aruba. Hawaii. Nevada. I had to take a few minutes there to check out one that was selling for $95. Yep. $95. It had pictures and a note that upon the closing of the deal, the buyer had to also pay $608 in maintenance fees. The week for sale is in November and you get the Warranty Deed. This means that you are guaranteed free and clear title with no encumbrances.

Should You Buy A Timeshare – Check These 4 Facts About Timeshares Before You Buy
1. Timeshares are not a good financial investment, regardless of what a timeshare sales rep tells you. If you buy from a developer, you are paying all their marketing expenses and the resale value of most timeshares is less than half of what they are sold for by most developers. Disney is virtually the only company that has a right of first refusal clause for resales, so for any other company I recommend buying resales only. For Disney Vacation Club, it’s a toss up. Do some comparison shopping and make sure you know what DVC is offering as incentives and what all the admin costs are on any resale purchases.

Will you be investing your hard-earned nest egg or only a small part of your overall worth? Whatever your situation, however, any intelligent investor will certainly scrutinize the pros and cons of the investment carefully.
Looking at the advantages first – To start with, timeshares are clearly far more economical than buying a piece of real estate for a lifetime if, realistically, you are only going to end up using the property once a year. If you spent $200,000 on a property compared to investing a much lower amount, say $10,000 plus $500 annual maintenance fees, in a timeshare property over 30 years the maths would look like this:
