I know a few years ago I did resell my room for a small profit when I had to cancel. I just never added my own value. I made a thread with the notice and asked for best offer - starting at what it cost me and set a fast timeline on it (like 1 day I think). If I recall I ended up letting it go for a tiny bit over transfer fee's and that honestly what I was most interested in covering.

This year when I had to cancel I figured I would just call the hotel and let them give to next in line (which would of been fair) but well the deadline already past to cancel and they said they would charge me the 1 nights stay if I did cancel (yet I know it would be booked in moments - sort of sleazy of them). Asked if I could transfer it and then did so with first person to respond at cost.
