Re: BUYING DEVELOPER vs RESALE (typical scenario)

greg208 asks in part: >> ... what happens when no one buys from the developers anymore? What incentive will they have continue building these beautiful, modern accommodations that we can use and trade into? Unfortunately, the timeshare system depens upon someone initially paying the developer's price.<< --------------------------------------------------------- Since the advent of timeshare popularity in the U.S. in the 1970's, there has never been a shortage of people to attend developer presentations and then willingly pay developer prices after hearing the razzmatazz and empty promises, and receiving some pocket change, free dinners, baubles, a cruise they can't even later book or some cheap luggage. Unfortunately, the supply of such buyers appears endless, except during hard economic times. Shed no tears for developers --- they almost always thrive.
