Re: vacation international (by Tiana H.):

I think the best thing for everyone to do, is just accept that you will have your timeshare for life. Don't think that you're going to sell it, because you're not, unless you just outright sell it to someone you know. I'm sure you would take a loss, but that's the only way you're going to sell it. I was told by Mayan Properties to not buy a timeshare for an investment to sell it to someone, but an investment to reach the ultimate point of the company, which is to own a full-time condo.

I've tried to rent my weeks out over the years, and even hired 2 companies to try to do so, and they never have done one thing. They get my money, and that's it. At least the last company (GMAC) took a $1K, and they stayed in touch with me for a while like they were had someone that wanted to rent, and asked if I would come down on my price, and that they were going to tradeshows introducing my property. After about a year, I never hear from them again. Anything that has to do with your timeshare, other than using it, is just all a scam. Everyone needs to just quit worrying about selling it, and use it. That's the only way you're going to be safe, and not have anything bad happen to you.

I made a $28K mistake last year, and I'm never believing anyone else again. If they call me, I'm just going to hang up. I'm getting my home phone shut off tomorrow, so hopefully I won't hear from any of them ever again.

You can listen to me or not. I just think it's the way to live your life for now on, and how to protect yourself.
