Here's a Timeshare Vendor story...
First I am an extreme skeptic so, suffice to say I did not purchase this service but let this be a warning and discussion point for others.
I received a call from ETM, stating they want to rent/sell my unlimited bonus weeks from II. I start asking questions such as: "What unlimited bonus weeks?" "What is the fee?" "What is your written guarantee".
I am currently renting out excess weeks that I own in TS, but have read this board and know the pitfalls, but as a marketer and salesperson myself, I also listen to pitches to poke holes.
From this young girl that told me about my free unlimited bonus weeks, I was transferred to another gentleman that can answer my questions more in depth.
He mentions the 'Getaway' weeks from II and of course the 'unlimited' nature of my weeks that I own with my TS. He then spouts off about how a convention center management company in Orlando has made a deal that brings conventions to Orlando for the next 30 years, guaranteeing demand for hotels and TSs.
ETM is not a TS listing company, he goes on to say, but a sales and marketing company that markets my weeks to businesses that can save money over hotel room rates by renting excess TS weeks. Paying on average $2800 per week in the Orlando area with the majority of that going to me, the renter. All this can be done in as little as 3 weeks from signing the contract.
Is there a written guarantee on the rental contract? I ask. Silence greets me and a switch of topics. (This was asked at least twice with no real answer)
Of course they do not simply list a week on a site but actively sell the week to their client list. Novel approach I give them that. Of course the clincher was that it all can be done for the LOW...
Low...
low...
Price of only $1499 for a one-time rental or $1899 for a lifetime contract to rent out my weeks.
At which time I burst out laughing and said thanks for your time. :hysterical:
If you have any knowledge of this company or other information it would be greatly appreciated.
