Re: Buying timeshares (even resale) (by Phil L.):

This is so simple and I think like most timeshare owners that I'm fairly smart about this. When we rebought our timeshare I did make very good deal but after having Dale explain things to me I wonder why I didn't think of this!

Dale a very good friend of ours said that these companies that get you to pay to take their unit works same way. They send thousands of e-mails out and get 100 replies from interested owners.

He ask me why we haven't bought our second unit we want at the Ridge. I told him I keep eye out on these sites and if I see something then I will see.

He pointed out my first error, that I am looking for ads for the unit and then would contact the seller who probley is over priced and go back and forth and just waste my time. His way is same as his vacation time and that is to send few e-mails to many sellers at same time with my offer and wait for owners to e-mail me and they already know my terms. They e-mail for only three reasons, To try and work a deal or to give you a bad time or to sell their unit! This is why your answer is always NO THANK YOU! and move on.

He always tells me to remember these people want to sell or dump their unit and you have upper hand and to never give it up. This doesn't change if it is low end or top of the line timeshares. People want out and there are always owners that need out now for what ever reason.

Also when you contact a owner your dealing on their terms and when they contact you they are working on your terms!

Of coarse Dale isn't buying but this system works every year for his family vacation.
