what happened to the großrossiya thread

I'd thank you for that useful post but the Russians stole my thanks and are now interrogating them at a non-existent secret facility.

It's actually a time-share facility.

[Alexander's Horse]

ah yes...*runs*

[Sava]

You know, I would have expected this from Canada

It's actually a time-share facility.

Speaking of time-shares, anyone interested in buying mine? It's in Williamsburg VA, the motherland of democracy!

[Hauldren Collider]

Why the **** do you have a timeshare?

[Sava]

[Dr Strangelove]

I had a family. Time share suites are much easier for vacationing with kids because they're roomier and each kid can have his own room.

[Sava]

ah

well, sadly i think time shares get a bad rap because there've been some pretty outrageously comical commercials advertising them... borderline scam type stuff
at least, that's my impression

could be wrong

[Dr Strangelove]

Oh, they deserve the bad rap. You don't own timeshare property, it owns you. You can't sell it, the only way to get rid of it is to go bankrupt. Your fees can never go down, then can only go up. It's even possible that when you die the corporation can transfer your annual fees to your heirs. They can even allocate more "points" to your annual allotment, increasing your fees even though you don't want the additional points. In my instance the value of my annual allotment of points is equal to what I pay in annual fees. So what did I get for the $22,000 I paid to purchase the timeshare? Nada.

[Sava]

geez

well... I want to then go with my previous statement:



but with a side order of empathy

that sucks... i'm sorry that happened

great sales pitch there lol

[Hauldren Collider]

In the end, it's just cheaper and more flexible to rent.

[Dr Strangelove]

They got to me through my wife and my kids. The sales lady smooched their cute little butts until they were pleading with Daddy to buy the nice vacation place the lady was selling.

[Hauldren Collider]

What happens if you simply stop paying them the yearly rent?
