In case you haven't figured it out yet, the cloud over the timeshare industry starts at the top. You see... back when timesare's first began, they sold set weeks... so you would buy a week 27 for example and you owned that week! You had a particular unit and a particular week that was yours! Under this system, there was finite amount of units that could be sold... once the units were sold out, that was it. Then the resorts came up with an ingenious idea to sell "floating" weeks. It all sounded so good the potential buyer... now you could use your week ANY time of year! What a laugh! The problem is, the resort now sells way more deeds than they actually have units. And this is the real kicker.... the resort doesn't care if you can book a week or not... they get their maintenance fees regardless! Why would they want to give you a room when they could rent it out to the public and make more money???
