Larry, THANK YOU for that link! Terrific info. Could we put this in a sticky somewhere???
Another of our friends have asked us to help them find them a good resale timeshare. This is good starting point info for newbies and it comes from a government agency. I like that it gives a resale documentation checklist. This lends validity to the fact that resales are a viable option. And so many people have no idea what information they need to see or have when buying or selling a resale.
Re: TS tour ethics, this website also mentions the right to rescind and the right to get promises and representations in writing. Excellent.
As for the ethics of touring guests, I have mixed feelings about it. I know that there's absolutely nothing "wrong" about going to see resorts with no possibility of a purchase while getting an incentive. That's the way the system is set up. But since it kinda
feels like we're playing a cat-and-mouse, only-out-for-Number-One game
and we don't like game-playing of that kind, so we rarely go to those pitches anymore. It's more peaceful on our vacation when we don't.
If we want to see a resort, we may just drive up and visit.
The offer has to be reeeeeally good, and we have to be really clear with the person offering, that there's no way we'll buy, and we have to have plenty of spare time and very limited cash on that trip, before we go to them.
That doesn't happen often.
