Re: Is this a good news or bad news? (by David H.):

The fact isn't that the accomodations and the property aren't beautiful and luxurious. Hawaii is a virtual paradise. Yes it is beautiful even when it rains. It is beautiful at the other resorts also, whether you rent or own. It is not a point of contention. It is the fact that not all people are as awash in cash or able to "just say no" like some others have said. Nor have the cash flow to purchase five or six of these "bargains" We bought towards the downswing I am sure, but with only one purchase under my belt and the bad taste in my mouth I cannot fathom anyone owning more than one of these rip-offs. I read with utter amusement the replies because although there is some merit in their rebuke apparently the authors have NOT read the exact copy in my missives. It is highly likely that some of the replies may even be from paid agents of the developers themselves. If one had enough cash flow to purchase four or five timeshares no matter where; a good, honest financial advisor worth his pay; would STRONGLY advise against it. In fact, ask any legally licensed bank or financial institution to even consider such a purchase as a collateral for a loan and listen to the laughter. As I said before, if you believe you made a good deal and you are happy then so be it. I believe I was manipulated as I mentioned in my former post and ripped off. However; I know I am not the only owner of a timeshare that feels he has been ripped off. As for the ones who think this is such a sweet deal I have one for sale cheap actually, fifty percent less than I paid to the developer. Betcha I don't get too many takers though. PS it will be listed on xxxxxxxxx when that site goes online. If you missed the big sale here you can catch it there if you're still interested!
