I don't own a timeshare. Feel pretty good about that decision.
The numbers they were showing us seemed to make sense. If we spent an average of X on vacations for Y years compared to the cost of the timeshare and fees, the timeshare was cheaper AND we could trade our week in a ski area for timeshares anywhere in the world. How could we not buy into this? Might have signed, but when they told us we couldn't take any of the information with us and had to decide NOW, I knew something wasn't right. Had to say no for almost an hour, but but we were eventually allowed to leave the "no obligation presentation" required for our "free" weekend.
When I did more research, I found dozens of people trying to unload their purchases for far less than the company was selling weeks to new members.
I'll NEVER own anything using that kind of sales strategy.
