The largest problem with Timeshare Use is Hucksters who come in after developers have recovered costs and serve a function of absorbing units that aren't paid for and provide cash flow and some greater liquidity for management. This function comes at an inflated price, often 10 times what the true resale market is. There exist many sites and trading vehicles, the largest of which are RCI and II wherein you can trade locations. Often Red Week, Ebay, airbnb, and other sites provide a less costly vacation rental. The secondary market is active and particularly depressed at this time, (2012) making it a great time for low cost purchase.
