Anyone ever sat thru a time share presentation?

[beenz]

I posted this in the MLM thread but this isn't exactly MLM. I have done the time share presentation two times actually.

the first time was like in 05 to get cheap disney tickets. if u know anything about disney, those tickets are damn near $100 each. for each park. so we were getting a deal where u get 3 tickets for 3 parks (we only had 3 people in my fam at the time) for like 275 bucks, which was pretty reasonable. anyways in order to get those discount tickets it cost us 2 hours, but they did give us breakfast. but that high pressure sales pitch is fukking awful

the 2nd time we were in the bahamas, and they said if we went to the time share seminar, they'd give us $300 cash. Me and the wife were all about that cash. anyways, the presentation is horrible. you can't just give them the upfront and get ur cash. first they wanna get you lunch, and then once ur full and ready to bounce, they hit u with the high pressure sales pitch. the pitch is pretty much the same each time, but you'd be suprised to see how many suckers fall for it. a time share is a waste of money, and ur taking a mortgage on something you can only use 2 weeks a year. mind you, u gotta pay property taxes and assessments (maintenence) on that joint. and if u think ur gonna sell.....shiiiittttt, good luck with that. our sales dude made a point to tell us about his family so we would feel bad when saying . after they exhaust all their rebuttals, they reluctantly gave us our money which we took to the casino. I remember it. that was like the ONLY time I have ever won at the casino. walked in with that $150, and came back with like $500 off craps.

fukking salesman was racist as shyt when a group of people of Indian decent walked a little late:

Salesman: Go ahead find a seat.

Indian lady: ok *thick accent and looking lost*

Salesman: Take your time. *puts hand to side of mouth, style and says* Oh nevermind, they prolly don't understand shyt I'm saying anyways

Crowd:

man we always stuck to our guns and gave them the when it comes down to the time share purchase. like I said, we was only in it for the free meal and gift

most of them won't even let u attend a sales pitch unless u got ur spouse with u either. I guess they think the wife will cause the man to be a sucker and cop a timeshare.

Sat through one a few years ago at the beach and they gave me $80 cash and free 2 night trip to Vegas. Trip was good for a year. I had forgot about it so they called me offered me a 3 night, 4 day trip to Vegas with a $200 dining card and additional trip to Orlando for $159.

Salesman ran both mine and my girl at the time credit and came back happy as fukk but we were like we don't want this, just give us the trip and cash

Why do people say they "own a timeshare" like they own a building or something? Don't you really just "own" a reservation for a stay over a specific period?

I remember yeeeeeeeeears ago, folks were talking about timeshares heavy... just seems like a repurposed sales pitch to get people to reserve resort/beachfront rooms.

TIMESHARES ARE LIKE STD'S. shyt IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET RID OF. THEN YOU PASS THAT shyt DOWN TO YOUR KIDS AND THEY HAVE TO SUFFER WITH IT.

 

[Truefan31]

timeshares are terrible brehs. You never own it, it loses value, you pay fees every year on it, and it's near impossible to get rid of unless you wanna pay lots of money.

I've sat through a lot of them. Me and wifey so cold with it at this point that they already know we ain't buying when we first meet....I make them cut the meeting short real quick. The last lady just brought her manager in off top . "He was like you just here for the money?"
