Does Timeshare Work?

I am not going to be one that simply knocks timeshare for the sake of doing so. I am sure it has some advantages; but I worry when I read “when you buy timeshare on the resale market, you are already ahead of the game, as used properties are significantly less expensive than new ones.” (Consider a Timeshare for your family Vacations, by David Chandler).

Writers on timeshare seem to agree that one is lucky to get 50 cents on the dollar with a resale. Some, very cynical about the benefits, say that the chances of timeshare sales-personnel buying into their own product is almost nil. Most categorically claim it is 0%. Not sure if this is quite the case, but people are becoming very disillusioned; no mistake about that.

Then when you get sick of going to your new purchase probably after the 1st or 2nd year if you want to go somewhere else you have to pay a transfer fee to transfer your week so you can enjoy a new destination. On top of all that crap you have to pay a yearly maintenance fee for the ownership privilege that you “had to have”. Am I crazy or Am I missing something here? The only thing that you own are the bills! Read more »

It’s Vacation time! Yep, winter is here and it’s time to find that perfect resort, timeshare, vacation home, hotel, tent, or RV. There’s lots of ways to get out of town and experience someplace different. And that’s the point I want to make; about someplace different. Shouldn’t we all have a chance to experience other countries and see what adventures these far aff places have for us? Shouldn’t we all get to have a variety in the places we choose to vacation?
