Ebay listings, classified ads, reality checks... (by KC):
First off, many eBay listings contain a lot of incorrect and inaccurate information. What you see is often NOT what you get when the underlying details are examined more closely. As always, the devil is in the details. The listing errors may be innocent and not deliberate or intentional (the mistakes are, I believe, often the result of a lot of cutting and pasting of material from one ad into another) --- but wrong information is still wrong information.
Also, most Mexican timeshares are not actual ownerships, but are instead merely "right to use" contracts. All such RTU contracts have specific expiration dates. An RTU contract expiring next year, for example, is worth nearly NOTHING!
I'm not rendering any judgement here on resorts or pricing and I have no interest whatsoever in ANY Mexican resorts. I DO, however, strongly recommend that you exert due diligence before making ANY purchase. Confirm and verify every last fact and ad claim. Make certain that what you THINK you are buying matches exactly ALL the info in every piece of associated paperwork. Good luck. CAVEAT EMPTOR (Buyer Beware).
