Howard,they figure in the $300 in to the purchase price.Most marketing in timeshare is built in to purchase price.Kind of like when you book a cruise and they "include" airfare.Did you tour with ILX,Sunterra, or Fairfield(Wyndham)?

I don't want to say. Not trying to dodge you but, even though I only said nice things about where I went, I worry about malicious people online. I will say that I recognize one of those 3. Good read.

Edit to add:

I don't think it was necessarily a bad deal. If I had some loose cash I might've gone for it. As I said in my TR I have a cousin who uses hers regularly and loves it. The place I toured was an older property but still very nice, much, much nicer than a regular hotel room. I think most folks objection to it (as is mine) is that there isn't much of a resale market but if you look at it as an initiation fee into a club where you can travel in style for your lifetime (worth much more if your younger) then I can understand buying one.
