Re: IBD-MARKETING . HAS ANYONE HEARD OF OR DEALT WITH THEM ? (by Ray R.):
I received a call from these folks after completing a request for information. I had a nice talk with a Mr. Olivierre who very quietly walked me down the aisle to the point where I was asked for my credit card info. Being a careful person I declined but did ask for more info. I was guaranteed a sale of my unit, for the marketing fee of $1500, and provided with web site information as well as BBB information. I carefully checked stuff out and then checked to see if there was other timeshares available for sale at my home resort. There was one. I was able to ascertain the owner and found their name on Canada411.com. I called the owner and found similar stories to everyone else here. The business was eager to help, took their money, listed their site and no further contact was afforded. That was 2 YEARS AGO! They were thankful for the information I could provide them and the exercise was enlightening for me. I am not interested in paying a fee up-front. These folks have your money and there is no further incentive to sell. Sure, they would make some additional money if they could sell it but, based on your experiences and the number of units presently on the market, that is not going to happen. That is my 50 cents on the matter (It used to be 2 cents, but inflation ....)
