Time share Hotlist --- a dubious claim of "success" (by KC):

It was a company from texas that bought our weeks and the owner of the company was looking to buy 6 more like ours as they will use for business conventions.

This is a tired, well worn story, but in my nearly 30 years of timeshare ownership and experience, I have NEVER once heard of ANY company EVER buying timeshares for "conventions" (...although I have heard the story told many, many times).

Think about it for a moment, people. Why would any company EVER buy into an annual maintenance fee obligation, per unit, resulting in a capacity to house just a relatively few people? It makes no logical sense. Companies can get huge discounts booking (only when needed, with scheduling liberties not available in timeshare ownership) blocks of rooms at hotels which also have integrated meeting rooms, food services and accomodations for all personnel right in the same place.

Sorry, but it's just crazy talk to portray for one moment that "companies" are looking for or buying timeshares. It just doesn't happen; period, amen. It's an amusing tale, but categorically untrue.
