Re: Is Getting Rid of Timeshares a Problem? (by NoOneYouKnow):

No one's blinder than he who will not see. I never have understood why someone would object to there being an orderly method to get rid of something.

I know of several successful resorts where the developer has been out of the picture for more than 20 years that are successful because their HOAs are progressive and deal head-on with the very-real exit strategy problem by helping their owners.

One has done so well with deedbacks and auctions and resales and rentals that my wife and I recently bought a week at it. I can't wait for the next auctions. That's what having an orderly exit strategy does . . . makes people comfortable, even excited, about buying.

Why would someone object to that?

Also, I don't like to confuse this issue by talking about developers and lying sales presentations. That's a whole nuther issue. I would certainly not expect David Siegel or Jim Gissy to take back the first week we bought in 1989, but it would not hurt their goodwill if their resorts did.
