Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How do I sell a time share in Branson, MO.

We never use the thing, so there doesn't seem to be any need to keep it. Surrey Grand Crowne Resorts with three adjoining units. I suppose people trade weeks for other places, but we haven't done that either. Used it four times in thirteen years, so it is time to get it gone, but we don't know how to go about it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Most likely at a loss.

Give it away, run like hell

I had and used timeshares for years. They're good for what they're good at, and that's going to one place for one week and staying put. At one point, I had 5 (which believe me, is a modest number amongst the slick users). Sold them off 1 by 1, or used up the weeks on the termed ones. Down to 1 5 star 2br/2ba in one of the nicest in Aruba that I bought at auction. Most were bought at auction. I have traded them for units all over the western hemispere, Caribbean, Hawaii. Never lost a nickel on any of them. I picked top tier resorts and also made money renting them out.

If you're determined to sell, you need to find out value. Many timeshare resellers are hacks and frauds. So, you need to educate yourself. Get yourself over to tug2.net, get a login, and post some questions on the forums there. It is a BBS, just like 24hourcampfire.com.

There are many savvy people there who will cheerfully help you with info and your options. You can thank me later.

The sell or give away and run are never good choices when you're educated about your options.

Google "Time Share Exit Team." Don't know if they're any good, but they advertise on a local conservative radio station...

You guys are the best, thanks a bunch. I'm still a newbie here, but all y'all are a welcoming bunch. It actually belongs to the wife who got it from her late first husband. I don't know much about Branson, but I'm sure that you guys will enlighten me.

Glad to have you here!

(I think the Grand Ole Opry is in Nashville, TN though)

Is renting it out an option ?

The "Little Opry Theater" is in Branson .

Oh, yeah, my wife makes me go to the "Andy Williams Christmas Extravaganza."

But it's okay, I get to sneak in some trout fishing on Taneycomo.

What has 6 teeth and 60 legs?

this would be my target buyer



don't get mad, I'm just having fun

I have a client who has a time share in the Keys that got devastated by the recent hurricane.


Fortunately, it wasn't his week!

A timeshare in Branson, Missouri lets you show up every Christmas to see how much fatter Wynonna has got,...fer $10,000 a year.

She waddles out,...grabs the microphone,...~~~Sanny Claws is comin' to towwwwwwwnnnne~~~

Somebody in the audience stands up and says, "He needs to leave a treadmill under your tree, fatass!"

Wynonna gives the crowd the finger,...says, "Fug you!",...then waddles on off back stage.

Another $10,000 down the drain.

Option A:

- Describe the place in incredibly glowing terms, and point out that you're only selling it for an "elderly person" who needs the funds for his tires, errr, kidney surgery.

- Old people should be your target suckers, errr, group, here.

- Tell em they're gettin the whole place, timeshare/shmimeshare.

- If they buy it and complain, tell em ya didn't know it was a timeshare, the guy that sold it to you, err, the "elderly person", didn't say anything about a timeshare (make sure you scratch your head while you're sayin this), it's just that you happened to only go there one week a year, when you're not bear shooting.

- Remind em you're "the biggest guy" in your steel cable knitting club.

- Hop in your avalanche and hit the road, before the attorney general's inspectors close in.

This can work, but you'll end up in bankruptcy (which'll be reopened), but the good news is that you'll get so many supportive PMs.

Option B:

- Bein the Ozarks, buy some shine, and relabel it by puttin it in replacement Mason jars, and writin your "trademark" on em with a Sharpie.

- Tell everbody you "jarred" it right there on the property. Charge ten times what you bought it for, and if people complain about the price, disparage their economic status, which will seal the sale.

- Get the only family member you have that can complete a sentence without twitchin, to post internet videos describing your "handmade" Mason jars, and the extra special seal the lids get. Work the word "ichor"
(or was it "euchre"), into the presentation to show you use words alla time that the little people don't even know. That'll get you the lucre.

- Take an eighth mortgage to make the deal work, then get on the innanet to t brag bout what a business typhoon you is.

- When they call you on your bullshit story and attitude, refer em to your people.

This can also work, but you don't actually end up with any money, only a room in a medium security motel overlooking high tension power lines and a freeway, whose constant traffic lulls you to sleep at night.

Option C:

- Take a box of bullets and a post-it note, and put it on the kitchen counter. On the Post-it note, write: "Open Me".

- If you come back after their walk-through, and the box is damaged, but not opened, you've found your sucker. Charge em whatever you want for the property.

Will also work, but the shat-eatin SOB that'll be the buyer won't pay, sayin he had his ovaries crossed when he agreed to buy.

That was Wynonna? Huh, I thought it was Marie Osmond.

Either way, now can I go trout fishing?

It someone from another state that is never been in Branson Missouri. Trust me I've done a lot of work there and don't live that far from there it's a god-awful [bleep] in my opinion too many tourist and Outsiders.

Yep, it’s in Nashville.

Hahahaha

Is there a Jeebus Quartet CD and a promise of a best in quartet category included?

Had a timeshare.
Found out timeshares are like herpes. Ya cant ever get rid of it.

Call Jim Bakker.

Yeah, it is the "gift" that keeps on giving. She thought a new car back then would have been a better take me back dear token when she'd had enough of his drinking affliction, but no this thing complete with the annual maintenance fees. I didn't know about the trout fishing, but we have those here. I thought that Missouri was like bass fishing country. Good that that "edit" button hangs around on a post as long as it does because I woke up at 3:30 this morning and said to myself that it is Nashville that has the Grand Ole Opry, not Branson. Interesting reading about just what is there and it reads like I'd be happier going in the other direction.

Give it to some charitable organization and write it off your taxes.

It would probably be as hard to find a charity that would accept it as it is to sell it.

If you're lucky, you can get rid of it on Ebay without paying the buyer.

Timeshareexitteam.com.

Figure it's going to cost you money to get rid of it.

Let this be a warning to others considering buying into one of these schemes. Don't walk away,RUN.

Timeshares are worth every penny you'll pay an attorney to cancel the contract.

Wow, and I thought that you guys were exaggerating! 15k to buy the damn thing in 2004 then come to find out "maintenance fees" (a nice word for extortion) are $800. plus every two years. Now those nice timeshare people will "buy" it back for $2,700. No, that isn't that they pay us $2,700. to buy it back, we pay them $2,700 to take it off our hands!!!!!!!!! Amazing, but that really isn't the word that I used.

There's a guy on the radio that calls it "stupid tax".

Did you do what I suguested you do?

Just like anywhere else on the board, I guess. People giving advice about something they don't know sqiat about.

Timeshares are good for some people BUT not for everyone. About a year after one was started around here the ad's started appearing in the paper. "Just take over payments" was all they wanted. Don't know how many of them got out from under them that way.

Telemarketer called my brother, he made the mistake of answering. He hears, “Congratulations, sir, you’ve just won an all expenses paid trip to Branson, Missouri!” He said, “Ma’am, the only way I’m going to Branson, Missouri is as a hostage...”

Pretty much ended that call.
