Mark writes us on his experience with timeshare presentations:
Timeshare hounds nearly got me twice, in the small space of 7 days. Fool me once, shame on them right? Fool me twice shame on me. They really work you, and the second timeshare presentation often goes worse than the first. They break you down.
Fortunately for me, I managed to rescind both timeshares and receive a full refund in time. I saw the light, and strongly recommend that others BUY TIMESHARES RESALE!
I like the advice you give about always researching a timeshare no matter where you buy it. Simple research revealed that both timeshares I nearly bought sold for less than 10% what I paid for them.To make a long story shorter; after my narrow escape from retail timeshares, I’ve researched and purchased two prime-time weeks, one following another, on eBay from a wonderful resort ( via separate auctions) for about 3% of the scandalous sum the sheisters tried to scam me into spending on their timeshare.
We’re glad you pulled out alive, and with your wallet somewhat intact. Researching prior to buying a timeshare, even a seeming deal on ebay is key to making good purchases.
