Re: Maintenance Fees (by R P.):

jeffr, I have no problem with developer timeshares. I've often said that if "there were no developer bought timeshares there would be no resales". We bought our first from the developer. Of course, we could have bought the same product for much less on the resale market, but at the time we weren't aware of resales.

We went on to buy several resale weeks and we surmized in our minds that the developer bought timeshare DID introduce us to the world of timesharing.

We sold the developer bought timeshare several years later for less than 1/3 of what we paid for it .... huge loss but typical. We blame ourselves, not the developer salesperson, for not performing more research on the internet before buying any timeshare. That's why these types of forums are so important in educating people concerning timesharing.

What I have a problem with are some of the lies told prospective buyers by (many) timeshare salespeople. Please check my thread in 'Timeshare Discussions' pertaining to misrepresentations told by (many) developer salespeople. Those misrepresentations are what I have a problem with.
