Marriott Timeshare
I realize that the title says 'Marriott' but I felt this belongs in this forum (if it does not, please move it)..
If someone has a Marriott vacation timeshare, is there any way to generate miles out of that?

1. Usually Marriott owners are allowed to convert their weeks to MR points every other year. You didn't specify which type of miles you are interested in, but MR points can be converted to miles with most airlines. However, the conversion rates are not very attractive, and you normally will get more value form using MR points for hotel stays.
2. Attend "Owners Update" presentations when you stay at the Marriott Timeshare. They usually offer MR points as a gift for attending. These points can then be converted to miles.

Here are a couple ways tp generate miles from your timeshare:

It'll probably depend on what the type of timeshare it is, but do you know how many MR points were week is the norm?

Check the Marriott forum at TUG

I don't own Marriott so check it out at TUG.
However, I'm pretty sure you don't get the option to convert points unless you buy direct from Marriott instead of resale...and you definitely do NOT want to do that.
If you do consider buying a Marriott timeshare because you want a timeshare, you will save a considerable amount by buying resale.
