I do not belong to any of the TS Org's. and do not have any expertise in points, rewards, etc. I have an Insurance background w/heavy legal experience (defense). I comment only on those items that I am familiar with in some fashion. I try to be polite in commenting, but sometimes you have to tell the poster the truth. I suggest that you can take JayJay's comments to heart, as he normally offers good, solid, upfront suggestions. Marty is Redweek Staff and is good. (Redweek staff always identifies themselves as Staff.)
I think it is safe to say that JayJay has led the way against "Upfront Fees"scams and has done a good job. Redweek posters need to learn to read the entire "thread" before posting a response. My personnel pet peeve is someone changing the subject in a thread, without starting a new one.
I purchased all my of TS with the intention of using them. All of ours have been purchased from the seller, via the resort. On the rare ocassion that we can't go, I have been successful in renting them. When we decide that we don't want it further, we have sold them. Have yet to lose any money.
Hi. If you have never lost money on a resale of a developer bought propety, and always rent units you can't use , you are truly brilliant; and I am not being sarcastic. Stan.
Stan; Thanks for the compliment, but I am not that brilliant. My secret: Never buy from the developer. Why would you pay $$$$$ to buy, when in a couple of years you can get in for $$. Same resort, same location, same everything.....except only $$.
Nothing brilliant....just simple everyday economics. But thanks anyway.
