Re: Getting rid of a time share. (by Orville M.):

I don't disagree in principle with any of your points. As I said, do the math and explore all options. If paying to take it off your hands still makes sense then do it - as a calculated decision made while fully informed and "eyes wide open".

My gripe is that their selling tactics, which are as bad as the timeshare sellers, don't lend themselves to making that kind of calm, informed decision. They're exploiting the desperation that the T/S companies created by harping on deliberate scare tactics that can be questionable at best, and they won't even tell you what the "real deal" is until they get you in the door. They play a bogus "interview" video where everything was scripted and bought and paid for, but unless you know what to look for, you would gotten the impression that this was a legitimate consumer affairs journalism piece. I could go on and on but I'm pretty sure you already understand my point.
