Lunch with...
Heh, Heh...
Back in the '70's when I was 17, I got a personal invitation in the mail to a time share scheme in Ocean Shores, WA. My friend and I drove down there from Seattle, enjoyed the free breakfast and bussed tour. When the salesman sat down to talk to us, I calmly explained I was only 17, and didn't have any money. *Boy* was he mad JR Clams Canino wrote: Heh.... I *just* did that while on my fall road trip to Fla to pick up some outboards and rebuild one on the fly. We had 2 days free to go to Disney. So we did the timeshare thing to get a couple of cheap two day Parkhoppers. We got the free breakfast too. At the end of the tour I multiplied the price of one week x 52 and got the "actual" price they were selling each condo for. It was like 1.5 million per condo! And since they did their own financing they netted more like 3 million per unit via "total of payments". Their "closer" didn't stay too long at all with me......... evil grin We were in Disney by 10am. Kinda hectic doing all 4 parks in 2 days. Did Magic Kingdom and Epcott on Day one. Day two we did the Animal Kingdom and Disney MGM studios. We hit all the good stuff though. -W "Don White" wrote in message ... My most expensive 'free breakfast' happened when I took one of the 'time share' look sees in Orlando, Florida in '93. The rest of the morning our saleman worked us trying to sell a week in the development. Sure was glad to get out of there. -- Remove X to reply -------------------------------------------------------------- Home Page: http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth |
