Time share sale pitch?

[Karen]

We've been to one once, I am good at saying no! But most often they want a "couple," and Paul doesn't like the sales pressure at all, it gives him the creeps, so we don't go to them. Haven't gotten any offers lately, anyway!

My firsdt thought, Link.

LOL Blue...thats what I thought too!

Ive never been to one of those Time Share things...If I ever did go I'd tell the sales guy if he wanted to skip the BS he could give me my free gift for showing up and write down we were there an hour lol. I wouldn't tell, I swear!

Free food is always a good thing.

All I can say is you are a very brave woman. I'd fall asleep.

Any sort of sales pitch totally creeps me out - the manipulation thing going on. I won't even go to "home sales" parties

We will be able to easily avoid falling for their pitch -- we are just barely keeping our heads above the bill water level (so to speak) so we definitely don't have extra money for a time share

Besides, if we were to ever go on any type of vacation, who on earth would take care of 8 cats and a hyper dog? I can't think of one person who I would trust to scoop 9 litterboxes twice a day and to handle Callie's pent-up energy from being left alone all day.

We might not be going now though because Cameron's with us all day, and the mood he's in? Ummm.... they'd likely kick us out! Which might not be a bad ploy; bring an obnoxious 3 year old, get them to beg us to leave and hope they still give the "free gifts" on the way out!

J and I went to one in November, and got a free cruise out of it! I repeatedly told them no, and really, it wasn't a big deal.

The lady (who is in law school, coincidentally) had to go get the manager. The manager tried to sell me, and I still said no. Then, the guy that had the details about the free cruise, he tried to sell me, and I still said no.

I think the vacation package thing has a lot of good selling points, and if I had any money, I could be tempted. But, I don't. I was very straight up with them from the moment I walked in the door.

I have yet to register for the cruise...which requires a $100. down payment. But, all else- but taxes are "free". The guy estimated that the tax would be about $200 a person, I think. $400 for a 4 day, 3 night, all inclusive, including airfare, is cheap. I will probably take advantage of it.
