O/T incredible nerve

My wife and I have a timeshare and wouldn't mind selling it but they are an albatross to get rid of. Early this week we were contacted by a company who said they would like to talk to us and make an offer on our timeshare. So thinking that maybe we'd get an offer we'd be willing to take it was a shock when the offer was made. They would TAKE our timeshare IF WE PAID THEM $3300. Needless too say when I heard that I was up and walking out. This offer was made after telling the group that was there how they rented them out and if you wanted to become a member the membership fee was $5000. I still find it incredible, can you imagine paying someone to take your house or car?

We feel for you,
t here is a donation group on the net that takes your time share and puts it on e-bay and you get to take it off your taxes, but they sell them for $99.00!!!!!!!,you get to take 99.00 off your taxes. WOW

What's worse still is that they WILL find people that will go for it. One of my friends had a really bad experience with his elderly mother. She was curious about the value of her house and an unscrupulous Realtor convinced her the best way was to list it! She called in a panic when the crooked agent called to tell her he had sold her house at the listing price and she had no alternative but to move. All of this for below market, of course. What some people will do for a comission!

Jaybee, I know they find willing people, they have quit a few units to rent out. My wife and I were the only ones out of the 7 there that walked out, the rest stayed.

48ford, yes they told me we could deduct some of it on our taxes, but that doesn't begin too make up for paying them to take it.

Not to smart on your part

. Sometimes I do manage to stop at Hooters in your fine city Vance. I'll call ahead and we can meet there

, for a mid-afternoon lunch.

Jim and I stopped there going or coming to Oak City a year ago and the gals went out and draped themselves all over Jim and his Car and I took pictures. He told me he later burned them afraid his wife wouldn't understand, but I think they are still around somewhere

.

My truck was parked on the other side of the building and I decided maybe the photo op wasn't in my best interest, although Julie usually just says go for it or laughs it off

.

c ya, Sum

I live in such an exciting town that the Hooters they opened here closed in about one year!!!! I never went to this particular one, but my mother in her late 70's at the time wanted to go!!!! Guess I shoulda been a better son and have taken her while i had the chance....

EMSjunkie · May 14, 2006, 08:55:41 PM

your on Sum!!!!

contrary to popular belief, they do make a GREAT burger, and I like the curly fries too.

let me know next time you are coming this way and we'll make some plans.

its pretty easy off-on I-40, and last time I was there the waitrersses were more than willing to provide a "photo op" for us.

:oops:

the supervisor wasn't too happy, but it was large fun anyway.
