With all due respect, "these timeshares" is very vague and non-specific. Personally, I've owned multiple timeshare weeks at several different resorts for nearly 30 years now. All were purchased in the resale market, none of them were purchased directly from any developer at grossly inflated prices. We use and greatly enjoy our weeks and would never consider selling them. The short answer to your question is no, there is no "huge class action lawsuit we can all get in on". Lawsuit against whom, exactly?
That being said, there are certainly some unscrupulous people (and some unscrupulous companies too) associated with the timeshare industry. They can all be very easily avoided by smart consumers who bother to do a little bit of research before buying, exercising caution and due diligence in all timeshare related matters --- and who make the effort to learn and understand the details and long term obligations of timeshare ownership. It is not fair or accurate to so very simply and bluntly say "these timeshares are such a scam". That's a very broad brush (and largely inaccurate) statement.
