I purchased a unit from an owner through this website. Never used it for a direct trade though.

No personal experience but I like the concept.
Connecting with another owner and then you can both make reservations at your home resort that meets the others needs.

The problem is (in my eyes) that some people think their ownership is more 'valuable' then someone else's so what constitutes a 'fair' exchange???

I also liked the concept, I was a member for awhile, but after trying to do several direct trades and running into numerous bad or old emails and getting irate responses from people stating that they no longer owned the week that was connected to them on the site and "would you please stop sending requests to me", I gave up on trying to use the site.

It's too bad because I liked the concept and wish it would have worked for me. I have heard of other people making connections but every time I tried, (over a period of about 18 months) it was a bust. To be fair, this was several years ago and I haven't been to the site since I quit so, who knows, the information update process may have improved since then.

Garry,
How the hell are you ?
Some of us on the Forums here trade amongst ourselves. If you're interested in some of my weeks, I know I'd be interested in yours.
Hope you and your family are well.
