Very often, Time Share interval owners feel that they require another vacation venue. As the timeshares only allow a week's vacation at the same resort every single year, there are very few options for enjoyment. It is very easy to get bored of the same vacation spot.
Advertising on the internet has made resale of timeshare much simpler. Advertising on websites makes advertising for a timeshare sale, easier, more profitable and more efficient than ever before.
Websites have been known to provide satisfaction to many clients. This is due to the fact that these websites are providing quality services to the people who want to sell timeshares.
The advertising websites aim at attracting vacationers from the world over. They provide many incentives to the buyer.
Usually a timeshare advertising website requires the clients to fill up a survey form. This survey form is not an obligation but with your information, the website will be able to build your resale ad. It is these ads that promote the resale.
The owner of the timeshare will be contacted by the advertising website for confirmation of the request, for offering market advice and for concurring before the advertisement is posted.
Nowadays these advertising websites have customer services for clients who want to sell timeshares. A capable staff will always be available on the phone and you can always clear all your queries regarding the process of resale.
Apart from resale, a timeshare owner can do the following:
1. Use the timeshare -the owners of Time Share can always opt to continue using their share instead of selling it or renting it out. These are real properties and have deeds that transpire in a week. The owner has the following types of ownership:
a. Ownership for a fixed week, where the owners have the property only for a particular decided week on the calendar.
b. Floating week ownership, where the owners can choose a week within a defined season of weeks.
c. The rotating week ownership, where the owner owns the property for successive weeks each year. This means that if you won the 34th week this year, you will own the 35th week next year and the 36th week the year after that and so on.
2. Rent the Time Share
The owners of the timeshares can always rent out the property and then post them for sale. Renting a timeshare property means that the owner still has ownership over the property in case he or she decides to use it.
3. Gift a Time Share
The owners can gift their family and friends a timeshare property. Instead of going through the process of reselling or renting it out, gifting it to somebody can be a great idea.
4. Internally exchange the Time Share
With time, many resort developers have combined forces under a common umbrella group. As long as two resorts are under a single umbrella group, the timeshare owners of these resorts can always exchange their timeshares.
Instead of using the same vacation spot, year after year, you can visit other locations simply by exchanging with another timeshare owner.
5. Externally exchange Time Share
There are also a number of timeshare resorts outside the umbrella group with whom you can exchange your timeshare resorts. There are more than thousand resorts of this nature.
It goes without saying that timeshare owners have a number of options to choose from, regardless of what their timeshare is. You can always sell your timeshare but you should be fully aware of all the other options that are available to you.

Investing In Timeshares - 8 Facts Buyers Must Learn
Investing in Timeshares can be beneficial and a source of money for some people. It is also a very profitable investment for most people. But there is more to the story. Though some people reap the immense benefits that timeshares provide there are many others who have had their dreams crushed and lives turned into nightmares because they bought timeshares. Hence, timeshares should always be bought with a high level of caution and alertness. Before you sign the contract papers, make sure that you are aware of the risks and benefits involved. If appropriate safety measures are not taken, this money making venture could incur a huge loss. Do not forget to read the fine print before signing the contract.
Timeshares are broadly divided into deeded plans and non-deeded contracts. In a deeded contract, a person buys the ownership of a real estate property or land. The property owner gets full rights to the property, including title and the property may be inherited by his heirs. But in a non-deeded plan, the person buy the license or lease or club membership that allows you to utilize the property for a particular number of years for a specified time each year. However, in both cases, the price of the unit depends on the season and time period for which the individual wishes to buy the property. The owner's rights will expire when the lease becomes outdated, in the case of right-to-use timeshare.
People tend to take sufficient care when they are making an important investment. This is applicable to timeshares also. You must ensure that you read each and every document carefully and thoroughly understand what you are gaining through the investment prior to signing of agreements and payment of fees. Taking professional advice is recommended when making large timeshare investments. You can take professional advice from your attorney or from your peers. Mentioned below is a list of things that people must consider carefully before buying a timeshare.
1. When you are planning to invest in a timeshare that comes from a resale company, check if they have a license. A simple way to do this is by noting the broker's license number. You can use this number at the State Department that handles such transactions and find out the past of the broker. If you buy timeshares from non-licensed firms, your money is at a greater risk level, you would have too much at stake and the chances of a scam are higher.
2. Timeshares are used for personal competitive uses, and you must be fully aware that its resale may or may not give good returns.
3. If you are investing in a non-deed plan timeshare, you must be alert because you are likely to lose your privileges if the sponsor claims bankruptcy.
4. You must insist on a written assurance from the seller when you are investing in a property whose facilities are not completely installed. The undertaking must specify the time limit required for completion.
5. If the seller makes any claims or assumptions about the profits of a timeshare investment, question his statement thoroughly, because a timeshare’s future value is based on various factors.
6. Do not buy timeshares impulsively. Thoroughly study every paper that you have to sign. Spend enough time on research, analysis, and decision making before buying a timeshare.
7. Do not take oral promises or ones made on the phone, or even face-to-face. Ask the seller to give you everything in writing.
8. Check whether you have a guaranteed exchange program. In certain cases, it is not. Investing in timeshares which does not give you an exchange facility is not of much use, because it lacks schedule flexibility.

Let everyone have their say; VIEWPOINTS
SO Una, from Ely, doesn't like Dan O'Neill and won't read his articles. Couldn't resist taking a peek last week though could she? That's the thing about our Dan, he may be provocative but his articles are compelling. What I like too are the reactions they provoke. Even dear old Santa Claus (alias Bryan Prescott, Viewpoints, November 28) interrupted his busy schedule to have a go.
The trouble is that both these correspondents missed the main point of Dan's article; the BBC refusing to allow people of no religious faith to make a contribution on Thought For The Day.The BBC seems to share the view that religious people have a claim to the moral high ground and that without a belief in a supernatural being or divine creator you are an unethical degenerate. We live in a democracy, so why doesn't the BBC exercise its duty of impartiality and allow the atheists, agnostics and humanists to have their say? Or, better still, Give Dan O'Neill a slot!

golf swing
I have been starting to learn playing golf recently. But my performance was really disappointing and I even began to doubt that I could never be able to play it until days ago a friend of mine recommended me this ebook “The Simple Golf Swing”, also called “Golf Swing Guru”. It is the best selling golf swing book authored by David Nevogt, who is a golf expert and a great golf teacher.
I have to say that this book is really helpful in solving your swing problems. And it is quite easy to follow the instructions and master the swing skills taught in this book. It gives a step by step guide with illustrations starting from the very beginning like how to grip the club correctly, and then many practical methods and procedures to promote consistency, to ensure straight ball flight, to push the ball right, to hit more greens, to swing around your spine, to make perfect impact with the ball on every shot, to master the one-piece takeaway, etc. All of those make your golf swing just perfect.

Scottish Poetry Library
THIS month also marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Scottish Poetry Library. It ought to be an occasion of great joy and intemperate celebration, but there is no indication of that on the library's website, with only a few meagre events listed and no feeling that this is an event worthy of haiku, hyperbole and hullabaloo. This is sad, not least because we are led to believe that we are living in a golden age of Scottish poetry, with Edwin Morgan named last week as the Scottish poet laureate and Don Paterson winning the Whitbread poetry prize a month ago.
How very different from when the library began, with a huge crowd gathered at St Cecilia's Hall in Edinburgh, a spate of whisky and cairns of vegetarian haggis, the first time such a dish had been sampled in public. If memory serves me right, the guests of honour were Sorley MacLean, Norman MacCaig and Naomi Mitchison, who had a combined age of a million. Mr MacCaig, who was too tall for his own good, took one look at me and said: "Who're you?" It is a question I have often asked myself since, never finding a satisfactory answer. We repaired to the North British, now the Balmoral, carrying a bottle of malt and some leftover sausage rolls. I requested glasses from a flunkey which were delivered by the manager, who asked if we were guests. On learning we were not, we were ejected, even the great MacCaig. So don't talk to me about prophets - or poets - without honour in their own land.
The Shadows come out of the darkness
FANTASTIC news: The Shadows have reformed. Younger readers may not be familiar with the group who had a string of hits in the 1960s and who, as Cliff Richard's backing group, deserve every sympathy we can afford them. For a long time The Shadows have remained in the, well, shadows, not least because Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch, the two key players, weren't on speaking terms. Instrumental - hah! - in bringing them back together is my old friend Roger Field who, among other things, invented The Foldaxe, a unique folding guitar. Persistent readers may recall thatMr Field's main claim to fame is his friendship with California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, whom he met in a Munich gym some 40 years ago and whom he taught to speak English, an awesome feat. Arnie repaid him by saying: "You will always be a zero." Which, however you look at it, is not very complimentary. In order to prove him wrong, Mr Field began soliciting mentions in the press. At the last count he had more than 2000 from all around the world. Every time he gets one he sends a copy to Herr Schwarzenegger. Why? "Because it irritates the hell out of him." I am delighted to contribute to such a worthwhile cause. PS: The Shadows are due in Scotland in May. Down boy!
Cook makes a meal of trimming down
HAUD the front page! Margaret Cook, formerly wife of Robin, is going through her "annual post-festive seasonal angst about trimming down". Ms Cook, who has abandoned the NHS for hackettedom, is clearly a wee bit slow on the uptake, given that the festive season ended a couple of months ago. "No longer does my lifestyle take care of shape and size without cerebral intervention," she writes, c/o Pseuds Corner. Having cerebrally intervened, she is determined to eat less and masticate more. Nobody should underestimate the effort this takes. "Chewing nuts," says Ms Cook, a rocket scientist, "needs some muscular effort." Ditto, apparently, dissecting bony fish, though goodness knows why you would want to. One feels jiggered just reading about it. "It makes you realise that we evolved to work quite hard at our eating," she explains, "so that the whole process becomes adipose neutral." I could not agree more. Simply change gear into adipose neutral and you, too, could be a Hootsmon columnist.
The chequesin the Mail
AND so to the Daily Mail, the rag which asks more questions than Anne Robinson and comes up with about as many correct answers. Such as, how did Private Eye get hold of a sackful of internal correspondence, mostly memos to and from Paul Dacre, the editor?

smoking is glassgow
THE passage of time has not blunted the stiletto wit of Bill Hicks, who died 10 years ago this month from pancreatic cancer at the tender age of 32. Mr Hicks, who hailed from Houston, Texas, was for many years an adornment of the Edinburgh Fringe, endearing himself to audiences with his dedication to smoking and his first night greeting, "Good evening, Glasgow!"
Reflecting on the first Gulf war, when Dubya pere rode gallantly to the rescue of Kuwait's oil reserves before leaving hapless Iraqis to the mercy of Saddam, he observed: "People said, 'Iraq had the fourth-largest army in the world.' Yeah, maybe, but you know what? After the first three largest armies, there's a real big f***in' drop- off. The Hare Krishnas are the fifth-largest army in the world, and they've already got our airports."
