 I accepted an offer to view some time-sharing condominiums down in
North Carolina earlier this year (2 free nights accomodation + $50.00 cash
was the "carrot" used to entice people down there.The sales pitch was very
HARD sell and I'm sure would pressurize quite a few people into putting
down a deposit.I enjoyed my stay at this resort but declined their offer.
I will be taking up other companies offers for Time Sharing in the future
and feel that before too long maybe even purchase a unit.

  If anyone does decide to go and view a Time Sharing Resort you should 
ALWAYS INSIST on the federal property report this sometimes does not tell
you anything you dont already know or are told by the salesperson.Inspite
of any "SPECIAL discounts available today only .,etc" offers get hard
figures on financing(salepersons often overlook incidentals that are     
mandatory ) TALK to an attorney and/or accountant .

  Arrange to attend the sales pitch on the second or third day if possible.

  My wife was afraid that we'd be turned out or be made to pay for the 
accomodations or that the travel voucher would not be endorsed if we
didn't buy at the time.

  RELAX and enjoy the environment.

  If they start to bug you tell them to back off and let you enjoy the resort.

  If you have any doubts or questions ask then and there AND make plenty of
notes as to the salespersons replies.
