I did the same thing when we were young.
Did get some free things from it, but wow, those things were the most insane high pressure tactics imaginable. They really get close to the line of holding you prisoner!
Was actually kind of fun, though. Interesting to see how they operate off a script and very effective strategy. (For example, "What are your objections to buying?" Then for any answer you give, they have a response. E.g., "It's too expensive." Answer: "To the contrary, it's the cheapest vacations you'll ever have!")
But sad to see how many people they could get to cave in to the relentless pressure, it was a surprising amount.
