I didn't mean to offend anyone. A timeshare has just never been attractive to me. I was single for the better part of 51 years, and travelled a lot for work - so a timeshare was never quite conducive too me.
Anyway, I think the marketing scheme turns me off, greatly. In fact, during the last presentation I attended, I just kept laughing at the salesman like he was a circus act. Then abruptly, he challenged me with a question - which surprisingly, I answered correctly. They were willing to escort my wife and I out of the presentation - along with dinner for two and a carriage ride in Savannah.
I really just never go to the same place and when I do - I book a room on the NC coast for $64 - $89 govt rate.

oh no, you absolutely did not offend me. I'm actually on your side. I am the first to state that timeshares are only good for a very very narrow market.
everyone else they can be disastrous.
the marketing scheme can be obnoxious. I went to a presentation in Vegas. what was funny is we kept telling the guy that we already owned one and we were NOT purchasing another. I guess he didn't believe us. Unfortunately my husband was a master at sticking to his guns. guy kept throwing free dinners at us until I finally told dudo he was going to go broke before he got my husband to bend.
It took us almost two years from attending the presentation to purchasing, at the time though there were not many aftermarket retailers and I always say no way would I purchase today with what Disney charges.
