Any suggestions on selling one's timeshare units in Hawaii and Canada?

Have several timeshare units to sell.

I've never heard of anyone sucessfully reselling a timeshare so good luck!

Ed - who's it with?

I have recently sold back a timeshare - I bought a fixed week on a whim and having been there once, realised I wouldn't go back. Fortunately it was with the same company that we have timeshare points with, and by doing a deal I was able to convert the fixed week into floating points (and thus get the maintenance charge for the fixed week off my back).

There are timeshare resale companies which do sell (for a fee) but you often see timeshare listed on eBay - anything's worth a try!

Here's some eBay examples http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=timeshare+hawaii&_sacat=0&_from=R40

even more reveling is to look at the completed listings

Here only one of the 6 sold and for a little under £1,400

Good point, jake - it's not the easiest of tasks! If Ed's timeshares are linked with one of the main exchange companies, it's a better carrot as they can always be exchanged with other locations. I'll be interested to know who he bought through.
