Re: Reliable Timeshare Sales Firm? (by Carrie S.):

I got a phone call yesterday from a timeshare sales firm. The caller sounded like a kid.

He wanted to sell me a timeshare. :surprise:

I thought, "This should be fun." I asked how his company got the timeshares they sell. Believe it or not, he said the owners hired his company, for $800, to sell the TS. I asked why the money up front? He gave me the party line about marketing expenses, etc.

I explained how real estate agents selling multimillion-dollar properties worked--without any up-front fees. He said, "Wow."

I was impressed that the asking price for Marriott's Desert Springs Villas resales was $9,000.

Well, that was my activity for the day.
