Re: I just got scamed into buying two timeshares from developers? Help??????? (by R P.):

Many people (including me) bought their first timeshare from a developer at full cost to later find out that they could have bought the very exact product on the resale market for much less.

Since you still owe money on your purchases, there's a zero chance anyone would buy them from you. And, when they are paid off and you get ready to sell them, they will bring only a fraction on the resale market of what you paid .... that's the nature of the beast.

The best thing you can do is chalk it up to a very expensive lesson and learn to use, trade or rent your timeshares. Forget the negative and start focusing on the positives.

If you do choose to rent (or when ready to sell), whatever you do don't pay an upfront fee in the hundreds of dollars to anyone to rent it for you. You can do just as well, actually better, by listing your rentals on Redweek and other timeshare listing sites.

Don't beat yourself up over your purchases .... try to get the most out of them .... you are not alone.
