Morning. I found this article very informative. I'm a bit surprised that you don't have tons of feedback. I am particularly interested in the comments made by Sergio Rivera who suggested "a call to action" regarding exit strategies. At different time share presentations we have been offered significant reduction in purchase fees because of "returned" inventory. I called Westin to see if they would be interested in buying back our time share at a discount and of course they said no. It seems to me that that could be an exit strategy for leary time share buyers. At a discount they could purchase and resell quickly and improve sales and possible interest. I spoke to the wrong person at Westin - we own a time share in Kauai at Princeville - and I was led to believe that their inventory is sold out or nearly sold out. Do you know of a person at the purchasing end of Westin time shares who I could talk with regarding my interest to sell back our time share to Westin? Or do you know how I could most effectively communicate with Mr. Rivera to see about his interest to reinforce his "call to action" by directing me to someone who I could talk with regarding the buy back of this property? Or do have any interest to negotiate with Westin on my behalf for a fee? Sorry for my long winded response and thanks for publishing your notes. Gary Stamm
