You might want to rethink your stance. Without time share owners buying into a timeshsre, time share resorts would not be there for you to rent and have a place to stay. I any an owner of 4 weeks at a time share in st maarten and don't regret it one minute. I might get a special assesment and I might not but if I do I'll pay it and look forward to many more years at my home away from home.
