Not necessarily ... there are many people that buy a timeshare where they want to go every year and be in the same unit (no surprises) and there are people that buy a timeshare to get a certain unit at a resort (beachfront, near pools etc ... again no surprises).
As long as the buyer buys resale at a fair price and realizes that maintenance fees are neverending and go up every year and that they are responsible for ownership until they sell it, then they would be considered a halfway educated buyer.
Timeshare ownership is not necessarily bad if you buy for the right reasons and you research all the pros and cons of ownership.
