I get their mailings, too. It is hard to believe that anyone will do well besides the sponsor. They have too much control. They spend a lot on marketing.

Equity estates, exclusive estates and possibly quintess are the only viable clubs out there. I would assume that extreme caution needs to be heeded before going into any of these clubs as so many others have failed.

Equity estates has the "potential" best case as at least they share some of the upside with members vs ER or Quintess where you automatically lose 25% the day you join.

Many of these clubs have come and gone in a short time - buyer beware.
