Re: Misrepresentations in the timeshare world .... beware (by R P.):
A marketing expense? Give us a break ... hundreds of dollars for marketing one timeshare when you do nothing but list it in a computer base and wait for someone to come along that might be interested.
Have you not read all of the upfront fee resale company horror stories here? Some people have actually paid several upfront fee resale companies to sell their timeshares then never heard from them again.
Upfront fee resale companies are a SCAM period and they take advantage of the frustrated timeshare owner who desperately wants/needs to sell their timeshare, all the while charging their clients hundreds of dollars for marketing fees ??????
I hope that a law is passed that all timeshare resale companies must take their fees after they sell, like in traditional real estate sales, and not before.
