Re: Remembering why you bought your timeshare! (by R P.):

I guess I'm grateful I bought from Marriott as they do have great properties in great locations. They are in this for the long haul and are motivated to keep the customer base happy. I need to remind myself that I did buy a luxury product and that such products are usually had at a premium price.
It's Valentines Day and I guess I paid an extraordinary price for a card and will now pay a premium for dinner with my dear wife. It's all OK. :)
Oh yes, at one time we owned 9 timeshares and saw many great areas in this wonderful country via exchanges .... if we were still traveling we would certainly buy back into timeshares via the resale market (some even free) saving pennies on the dollar from developer bought timeshares. There are many great timeshares at wonderful resorts on the resale market at great prices .... we sold all of our timeshares before the recession of 2007 hit.
Marriott is a good brand .... you did well even if you bought from Marriott directly IF you are enjoying what you bought and have no regrets buying developer.
However timesharing has been a whole different ballgame since the recession with many people out of work, losing their homes etc. It's great that you have the funds to keep your ownership but many people do not.
