The "solution" is creating smarter buyers.... (by KC):

Beyond the original developer sales level, their are few other consistent or universal truisms that apply throughout the timeshare world, where there are good and bad people at virtually every level (...just as anywhere else in life).Hi Ken! You did a great job of describing the problem of the type of people running the timeshare business. Do you think the majority of the people in the timeshare business fit your description?So is the only solution "Buyer Beware", or do you have some other suggestions?
The only substantive, specific and universally applicable suggestions I can confidently offer are:
1. NEVER believe ANYTHING coming from the moving lips of a lying developer sales weasel. These hungry maggots will say ANYTHING (whether it's true or not doesn't matter a bit to them) in order to "close the deal". Never forget that these parasites get paid ONLY on sales commissions.
2. Repeat as many times as it takes to deeply sink in that: "If something is not very clearly, specifically and overtly expressed in writing within the sales contract content, then that 'something' simply DOES NOT EXIST in the eyes of the law." Period, amen. The verbal babble of a sales weasel means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
3. Virtually any timeshare being sold by a developer can be purchased on the RESALE market, for just a tiny fraction of the inflated and astronomical developer selling prices.
Beyond those universally applicable specifics, we get right back to the fundamental general advice --- Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware).
