We bought from them and they were fine. I just had to step on them to get the paperwork through. We were buying a unit in Mexico and they needed a push to have the transfer done in the time I wanted it to make an exchange.

Just be aware that Barnstable County is notoriously slow in processing deeds unless it is done by hand.

Good luck getting this deal closed anytime soon. I've bought two timeshares from these folks and both closings moved at a snails pace.

The most recent one, they agreed to move as quickly as possible. I faxed the paperwork. It took 2 weeks before they even got around to charging my credit card. Now the deed is in limbo "being prepared". These are forms where someone fills in the blanks, so "preparation" takes about 5 minutes or less.

As far as I know they haven't even mailed it to the county yet. However, they're quick to blame the county for the long closing time.

Unfortunately, the phone number they gave me goes to a fax machine and they no longer respond to my emails.

I would avoid svacationman and buy from one of the other frequent ebay sellers who seem to close more quickly.

I bought a unit from him last year around this time of year and it only took 4 wks to receive my deed. The time share was located in FL. so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but the communication was great!

Two different purchases with this seller. Both went very well.

Sorry for the double post but my computer keeps locking up on me.

I am currently working with this seller and so far I have received everything in a timely manner and they have answered all of my questions quickly. I will let you know how everything went after I do the closing which they said should only take about two more weeks. They also have a very high satisfaction rating on ebay so I'm not concerned.

I just saw one of their auctions on ebay. It is for a floating week at The Summit at Massanutten. In their ad, they claim that the resort is affiliated with both II and RCI which is absolutely not true. It is only a RCI resort.
Thus I would read every word very carefully.

Can anyone tell me where Svacations is located (484) 919-6803 and who does the closings.
