One of biggest reasons that Timeshares are not regarded as true ripoffs results from the owner problem. Many thousands are duped into buying overpriced timeshares each year, and in order to justify their tremendous waste of money they loudly laud the ‘advantages of owning a timeshare’ to friends and family.
No one likes to admit they were ripped off, especially when it involves an albatross that most people are unable to get rid of. For this reason, generally the only people that will claim timeshares work for some people are those that own or sell timeshares.
