[Q=jimc273] They are not "all scams."[/Q] Let's not play silly word games here.... Have the decency and honesty to acknowledge that no "upfront fee" entity ever actually SELLS a timeshare. It doesn't really matter how the "business model" is labelled (such as calling it, not inappropriately, a "scam"). The critically important, fundamental FACT is that NO upfront fee entity actually SELLS timeshares. They merely collect money from desperate, uninformed owners to ADVERTISE timeshares, which is something that any timeshare owner can do on their own at a tiny fraction of the cost, reaching the exact same pool of potential buyers. Period, amen, end of story.
