well, then, if the units are only worth "a few hundred," then why are they being sold for $15,000 and up by the developers? That's what I am trying to say: the units are, for all intents, WORTHLESS. Vistana is making big money by holding us hostage by virtue of our very binding contracts. Not only have we paid to purchase these "shares," we are now paying every penny of maintaining these worthless timeshares. And all the "costs" of maintenance, and of "refurbishing," are determined by the powers-that-be, NOT by the so-called "owners." These timeshares are money-pits. It's not that I cannot pay these charges; it's that I'd be an idiot to do so.
