Comparing apples to oranges... (by KC):

Resorts are not "making money" on maintenance fees; that's just nonsense. Owner maintenance fees pay for property taxes, utilities, insurance, facility upkeep, facility staff, infrastructure upgrades --- with a little bit left over for "reserves" (in a well run facility, anyhow). NO ONE is actually "making money" on those fees. If you haven't noticed, the cost of everything goes up, whether it's goods, taxes, or insurance. I can't say that I know (or care) whether that's equally true in AFRICA...

With due respect, it's ludicrous to compare African timeshares and /or their maintenance and /or their fees to U.S. timeshares and/ or their maintenance and/or fees. That's comparing apples with oranges. As far as "trading" goes, exchanging is just a crap shoot these days anyhow, no matter what your "trader" might be.
