I've been through a few time share sales do-hickeys.

Brought friends with us to Whistler, so the four of us had a fun weekend that cost my wife and I one hour.
The four of us did it again, with our friends taking their turn going through the time suck presentation.

I asked all kinds of dumb questions as if I thought this was an investment property, tossing out all kinds of numbers, poor return on investment, yada yada, until they pretty much told us enough, they have other people waiting, enjoy your weekend, good-bye.

The only time share that has been good:
Another good friend's mother bought a time share that includes 4 weeks a year.
She used to work overseas, and used the trading system to stay at nice places while seeing the world. She let her son, my friend, to always use the Summer week, and we always got invited along.
The condo next door, same week schedule, came up for re-sale, so mom bought it. Two condos, side-by-side, we got to use the smaller one for several years, until Mom retired, moved back, and started using it herself (how selfish).
The family still enjoys using the condo a few times a year.

These are the only people I know who are happy with their time share purchase.
