Re: To MS Schreier (by Lisa Ann S.):

Good Morning.

I do in fact stand by my own convictions.

I agree with you 100% that all timeshare owners should be able to make up their own mind about what sort of services/companies they are dealing with when it comes time to sell a timeshare.

As far as saying that upfront fee companies are the same as the postcard or relief companies, we will agree to disagree. The postcard companies are much worse in my opinion.

While I understand that upfront fee companies by their nature leave much room for consumers to be wary, it is important for consumers and writers such as myself to look at results.

There is a much larger problem; what is the resort and the industry as a whole doing to maintain the value proposition of the timeshare? You are correct in your example that consumers can sell a timeshare on Craig's List for "nothing." That is where much timeshare ends up being sold for $100.00 or even $1.00. NO value proposition there at all.

I appreciate your insights and your comments.
