Re: Why Buy a Timeshare? (by Vicki Y.):

timeshare is not for everyone and obviously you did not know what you were getting into if it took you years to figure it out. I would never suggest someone buy first, figure out how it works later.

We know exactly how ours works and studied the market beforehand to get a great deal. We have had many great vacations in fabulous locations at rates much lower than public can get.

just because you couldn't make it work for you does not mean that it can't work for others.

While cheap rentals are plentiful this year, I do not believe that will continue when the economy turns around and unemployment plummets. Owning allows me to go where I want, when I want, without having to have someone else make it available for me to rent or exchange into.

Everyone needs to do what's right for them, and timeshare fits us extremely well. ymmv
