Re: resort equity marketing (by Greg C.):

Okay, I've never been contacted by this company, but I HAVE been contacted by a few others in the last month. They didnt say much about conventions but they did talk about posting my ownership up on a site where there were hundreds of hit per day for a small upfront fee... And you know, that just didn't make sense to me. Why would selling timeshare on the internet work? MLS websites (such as this one) are the biggest scams of them all. Time share does not sell on the internet. If timeshare sold on the internet, Wyndham would fire the entire sales staff, and do business as an online company, saving themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions and salaries. Time share isn't a "hot" item. You're right. The only way to sell it is aggressively and face to face. That's what Wyndham did to me in the "90 minute presentation' that took 5 hours. After being beaten over the head for that long, I caved. So I figure, logically, this REM's approach to resale seems like the most lucrative. After reading this article last night I called the Orange County visitors bureau in FL, and REM was a member since 2002...so maybe they're telling the truth. Is REDWEEK.COM the ACTUAL scam?? Are you posters all employees of industry competitor companies? What the heck is going on here? Age of Information my arse. Never believe ANYTHING you read online.
