I wonder if it is possible for a advance fee timeshare company to actually be litigate in the resale community eyes. There has got to be another option as appose to "pricing it right" aka "giving it away". So here are some questions.

In reading timeshare forums all these years I have never seen anyone post that an upfront fee company sold their timeshare.

Has there ever been, since the conception of timeshare, a legit advance fee timeshare adverting and marketing company?

Not to my knowledge.

Is there a way to sell timeshare for at least what you bought it for?

Not if you bought from the developer in 99 out of 100 cases. The one percent being some of the very high end timeshares.

Will people keep buying timeshare when it has become apparent timeshare is a gigantic sales game, from the vacation package reps to the timeshare sales reps, and fianlly to the resale market?

Yes, people will continue buying timeshares until they are educated on the subject. Developer timeshare salespeople are very good at what they do and people are extremely impressed at the beauty and amenities at resorts compared to a motel/hotel room.

Is there ever a time that the owner of a timeshare actually sees return on investment. I don't just mean money but use and lifestyle?

Timeshares are not a financial investment, however they ARE an investment in quality vacations at nice resorts.
