Is there a site where people trade/sell Disneyworld Resort stays?

[Ben Denny]

I'm going to be purposefully a little vague here because I'm not trying to sell anything here. My wife won a certificate to a resort in a contest that we won't be able to use. Is there any place where you folks go to find deals on these things from private parties? Ebay is a no-go for this kind of thing, and I'm out of ideas. I got pointed here when looking for Disney World experts.

To the mods: I'm genuinely looking for advice, but if this seems iffy/suspect to you I completely understand if you delete this - I don't want to tread on any toes.

Plenty of people do list resort stays on eBay, just take a quick look. But if there is some reason why you can't/don't want to, then you may have luck donating it. Most wish granting charities (like Make-A-Wish) will take things like that, or alot of silent auctions for other charities as well. I'm far from being an accountant, but you should be able to take a credit for it on your taxes at that point.

Could you contact the person that your wife won it from and see if they can give it to someone who can use it?

Does the certificate say it is transferable? I get 2 "complimentary" cruises per year that I never use, but I can't give them away unless I was physically checking in with the person.

From everything we've been able to find out about it, it's not so much that it's transferable or not as it is that it's not specific to her at all - it's a numbered certificate kind of thing. I'm going to call the resort itself tomorrow to make sure before I do anything with it.

As to charity, it's an option and we might end up doing it, but I'm at the "electricity or presents for the kids, but not both, probably" part of the year, so it makes that decision harder.
