Re: REDWEEKS NEW TIMESHARE EXHANGE PROGRAM (by R P.):

It seems Redweek could become top heavy very quickly because most people want top resorts not the low end resorts!
People depositing very good resorts will want fair exchange and if they see this won't happen they will not deposit their unit here.
Owners with low end resorts hope to add some money and move up to top resort. This is something they couldn't do with their own trading company!
I still do not see top resorts listed as of yet. Couple very good units that did show were taken right away.

I don't necessarily agree with the statement above. High end/low end timeshare resorts are in the eye of the beholder. We have stayed at many resorts that weren't rated gold crown, but those resorts were very nice.

There are some Tug members that expect to get everything they want in an exchange to the highest rated resorts, but most people aren't like that. They want clean accomodations in a well maintained resort.

Also, there are many people that prefer to travel off-season (we did when there were less crowds and less heat - we never cared to travel in the heat of summer or during holidays).

To show you what some Tug members are like, there's one individual that bought a week 52 pre-construction at Planet Hollywood in Vegas for $100,000 +- and bragged about what a great negotiator he was in getting this great deal (yeah right ... anybody that knows anything about timesharing knows that deleloper salespeople will keep dropping the price until they make a sale, DUH!).

Anyone who pays 100K for one week of timeshare needs to have their head examined bigtime, but these are the kind of people that some Tug members are. They come across as intelligent because they can type well, but in reality they don't know diddly about timesharing. I certainly hope that newbies didn't take his advice and follow suit.

Again, what is considered a nice timeshare and season is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone expects high end timeshares in hot red season.
