We will soon be releasing a new section of the website dedicated to
timeshare auctions. Want a sneak preview of our newest development? In order to try the system, you must be a
registered user, which does
not cost anything. Once registered, you can place an auction and take the whole thing for a
test run. Auctions can last up to 60 days and you choose how long when you place the ad. Ads cannot currrently be relisted
and we won't go "live" with our auctions until the relisting feature is available. Please keep this in mind when you place your free auction.
The data you enter during this preview period will be lost at the end of your auction. We recommend choosing the 60 day auction for this reason. Once relisting an auction becomes avaialble, you will be able to freely choose how long you want each auction to run.
What will be cool about these auctions?
1. Load up to three of your own photos of your resort or area around the resort. Photo auctions will be featured in our recent auctions sections in relevant categories and on our forums home page. (One we're live, of course).
2. Auctions will have a user selectable time frame. Choose from 3 - 60 days to run your acution based on your needs. Please read our disclaimer above about this preview.
3. There will never be an auction ending fee for our auctions. Other sites like eBay and Bidshares charge an ending fee based on a combination of flat fees and percentage of the sale. We aren't going to charge these fees. The only cost, once we're live, will be a very small listing fee, i.e. $3.00/auction, or a choice of memberships which will entitle you to 1 or 5 auctions that can be run perpetually while a member in good standing. Our annual membership fees will be $10 and $20 respectively. So if you're thinking of renting your timeshare, or have multiple timeshare to sell or rent, you will be able to run consecutive auctions all year long for as little as $10.00/year.
We aren't live yet, but we welcome any feedback on this new system.
You can follow this link to
start your auction, but you will have to register and log to our forums first.
There is a lot more information to come, but have a peek, and let us know your first thoughts. Until further notice the auctions are free; there are no fees to place an auction, nor any ending fees. Enjoy the preview, and we welcome any and all feedback!
