I was reading a bit on Wikipedia, trying to understand what's so sinister about timeshares. Under the
criticism section, there were a few things, but nothing that seemed too bad.
This part sounded the worst to me:
"However, the biggest complaint of all is the fact that timeshare reselling by the private owner is almost impossible to do.[25] In most cases, an owner looking to sell literally cannot give the timeshare away. Timeshare resale companies have sprung up that actually charge the owner to assume his/her timeshare ownership, using the excuse that the resale company must assume the maintenance fees along with marketing fees, until that burden can be transferred to a new buyer."
