Ive only "used" my piece of property once.  Im in it for the cool trades.  $169 for a week beachfront in St Maarten.  Same with Grand Caymen...

I think we end up with 4 weeks per year to trade which works out well.  This year Ill give a week as a bonus for my most valuable employee.

If you are paying money for whatever on the Timeshare you would probably feel like you had to use it each year to justify the money being spent for it ...unless you can rent it out for more than it costs you.

To me it makes more sense just to be able to pick if and where you want to go on vacation and spend that money and not be attached to a piece of property that you may or may not be able to unload in the future.       Dolph       :)
We pay $169 for each week we trade. We trade two weeks a year. That and our maintenance fee means that we can take a weeks vacation for under $400 (Not including food and travel.) , and most of these vacations are at resorts, not hotels. Try to find a room in St Thomas, or Puerta Vallarta for $60 a day.

Prices depend on age, size, condition, location and time of year.
For example, a timeshare in St. Thomas in July at bluebeards hilltop can be had for as little as $1500-2000. This is because the resort is old, the size is small, the place has not been well kept, it's on a hill, with no beach, and it's off season. At the other end of the spectrum, The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas timeshares go for between $150k to 225k. The resort is huge, new, beautifully kept, has loads of amenities, is on 15 acres, has a private beach, and most of the weeks are what's called floating weeks, which means you can use whatever week you want, and even change weeks from year to year.
The various timeshare resale services can help you fix a price. Try www.timesharesonly.com, www.buyandselltimeshares.com, and www.sellmytimesharenow.com for more info. I think the first one will even send you a free info kit.
