How to Sell Timeshares by the Week
If you own a timeshare and aren't going to use it this year, consider renting it out or "selling" your timeshare instead of letting the week or weeks you own expire. Not only can you benefit by receiving income for the week, it's also possible to earn a profit if that week is in high demand or in a high-demand location. The most economical way to sell your timeshare week is to post it on timeshare rental websites and list it in local newspapers.
