Buy resale. Don't buy from the developer at one of those sales presentations.

Peruse various resale websites such as here on RedWeek, My Resort Network, E-bay, Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG"), or Craigslist.

Also, when checking the sale prices, look at what the annual maintenance fees are and compare those with what some current owners are offering to rent for. If you see that the rental rate is at about (or lower) than what the maintenance fees are, you should probably consider just renting.

Some of these resale websites also have a wish list. If you advertise that you are looking for a timeshare in Galveston, some owners might just take you up on that offer.
