I'm thinking now might be a good time to pick up a cheap CG membership (TT, C2C, RPI) since some people are apparently leaving the lifestyle due to high fuel prices.
Other than Ebay, what are some good sites to find memberships for sale online?

We used this company ten years ago and have never had any type of problem. They were very easy to deal with, no high pressure sales, they tell you what they have and if you want it fine.
C2C and RPI usually require a membership to a park that is in their respective system, and there is alot of overlap with these 2. eBay is probably your best bet for a Thousand Trails membership (I got ours for $300 plus transfer fee).
There are several different Memberships to consider..
Thousand Trails.... They can also include Leasure Time Resorts in the Northwest, Outdoor World resorts in the East.. and you can also join RPI and ROD from what I understand.. There are many different contracts that cover belonging to TT...
To belong to C2C, RP{, AOR, ROD, you have to belong to a Home Park that they belong too..
Most home parks belong to some of them, but very few, if any, belong to all of the above affiliates..
Several Home Parks also have sister parks, and usually cost more in annual fees but your daily use fees are usually included in the annual fees to visit the sister parks..
As an example, Western Horizion has about 22 sister parks.. and they also belong to AOR and ROD..
Colorado River Adventures has about 6 sister parks, and belong to C2C, RPI and maybe ROD..
There are of course, several other Park systems like the two examples mentioned above..
A lot of Home Parks have no sister parks, they belong to two or three affiliates.. Some of these home parks have very reasonable annual fees...
Before deciding to join any of them, take your time to investagate each, decide which will best suit your RVing needs, look at their websites..
Once you decide which system will work best for you, check out some the different sites mentioned above.. Let them know what you want..
You can also find Memberships on ebay, craigs list, in RV magazines, daily newspapers, etc..
READ/UNDERSTAND the contract before signing.. Each are very different... Just like the Home Park you may choose..
We have belonged to a Campground Membership for over 10 years, quite happy with it, but we did our homework before signing on the dotted line...
