Re: Welk Resort - Purchased 300,000 points for 18 months - $2,295 - Good or Bad Deal? (by Lance C.):

Well, I'm glad your purchase is working out well for you. And you're right, there are reasons why many timeshare owners are not happy with their units. It's usually because they bought at one of those sales presentations under high pressure and signing in the dotted line when they were mentally exhausted and just could not think straight.

I just take issue with your assessment that "you...rent your vacations and pay $200 a night for a tiny room and $450 for the same tiny room 8 years from now...". There are many decent timeshare rentals and motel/hotel rentals available for far less than $200 per night. And how do you know that that same room will cost $450 per night eight years from now?
