Timeshare Rentals Help Fight Gas Prices July 3, 2008
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, BBB, Customer Comments, General, JetShare, News & Events, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized , add a commentAs a result of recent gas prices climbing rapidly each week, it is unclear whether the numbers will plateau or simply rise into oblivion and become a luxury only the posh can afford. As for today the vacation season is underway and a trend is forming among travelers who fear spending too much on their time off. At BuyATimeshare.com we have options that will not only save you money, but will give you access to the luxuries of a premiere timeshare resort.
Many folks are convinced that the good old days of road-trips and vacationing are gone for good. Owners of timeshares in far off places have opted against traveling and will keep close to home this year. Not only are the fuel prices climbing, but the cost of travel in general has spiked drastically. Car rental prices are up 12% and airfare has increased up 13% from 2007. The Automobile Association of America (AAA) reported that the average cost for gas raised 39% in 1year, with the price up to $3.98 per gallon, and for the first time in decades Fourth of July travel is expected to drop by over 500,000 Americans less than last year. Even families taking the initiative to rent hybrid cars rather than the family SUV are still deciding to stay within 250 miles of home.
At BuyATimeshare.com we are seeing a vast number of people renting timeshares in their neighboring cities in order to keep the cost down and the luxuries right where they should be. This is a great way to save on travel costs and cut out airfare completely. There are some who still plan to keep their vacation plans and are simply cutting costs on luxuries such as dining out, souvenirs, and entertainment.
AAA reports that 4.5million vacationers will stay closer to home. BuyATimeshare.com offers various properties for rent in all major cities, which is ideal for those looking to stay at a luxury resort. A seven day stay at a rental is available for the mere cost of three days at a common hotel. If given the opportunity to visit your nearest city, enjoy the sights and save money—wouldn’t you?
Gas prices have been driven up largely because of a drastic rise in oil prices. The price of oil surged to a new record high, above $144 a barrel, as the government reported a larger-than-expected drop in U.S. supplies and investors worried about tension in the Middle East. A report by the International Energy Agency also indicated that world demand for oil will continue to climb, which is expected to lead to tightened supply and is anticipated to only increase gas prices. So why not save wherever you can this vacation season? Don’t let the oil companies decide if you vacation or not, there are options and BuyATimeshare.com can show you how.
Looking for Timeshare Resale? Search No Further! June 27, 2008
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, BBB, Customer Comments, General, News & Events, Travel, Uncategorized , add a commentThe immense popularity of timesharing has given way to numerous businesses and among them, unscrupulous, money hungry thieves composing various schemes to trick unsuspecting people out of their hard-earned cash.
Some of these “companies” will waste your time and take your money with little in return. More and more hollow timeshare companies are appearing and each with their own brand of deception. It is becoming evermore difficult for even the most experienced vacation-goer to keep up with who to trust and who to discard as a scam—so who is worthy of your business? New-and-improved sales tactics are constantly being developed; most are in place to get your money and have no interest in providing a service. The truth is however, that people who have a timeshare and are interested in selling them, need help, as do those first-time vacation property buyers. There are a number of methods you can use to make sure that whatever company you work with is the right one. You will most likely find that BuyATimeshare.com is your best bet, with more to offer than the rest.
Making an inquiry on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to help you find the advertising organization that is a BBB accredited member. This is a priceless resource for helping consumers distinguish who they want to do business and if any complaints have been filed by others who have done business with them. Some experts may advise not going through an advertising company, but to instead sell through a newspaper or magazine. This effort would not only be redundant, but so costly by the end it would be worth your while to simply keep it. BuyATimeshare.com already invests in advertising across various media including print, television, billboards and worldwide internet exposure. Real estate agents are confined to their state, and when selling, you want a company that will handle the entire closing and escrow process—and BuyATimeshare.com does!
We already guarantee advertising your property until sold, with no additional costs. It is expensive to advertise your property, just in print; it will cost even more to advertise over multiple months and media. Many experts have been capitalizing on warning consumers about timeshares and their affiliates. Just think of it as advice and not gospel—don’t cheat yourself out of a legitimate business simply because some bias writer told you to be wary.
It seems people have become so concerned with warning others about scams that they are scaring people out of doing any business at all. Everyone is bias; the trick is making your own decision. Take whatever you have learned and look at the big picture. Don’t rush into anything or make a hasty choice—because much like when you bought the timeshare from a developer, it will stay with you. Do your research and BuyATimeshare.com will be waiting to advertise your property with no appraisal fees or sales pressure!

Timeshare Resale Surpasses the Developers June 19, 2008
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, BBB, Customer Comments, General, News & Events, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized , add a commentThough timesharing has seen unwavering worldwide success, part of this is due to the efficiency of hard selling sales people at resort sales presentations. Especially in recent news the web has been buzzing about the resale market. If you Google timeshare news, you will be inundated with blogs and journalists raving about the timeshare resale market and how this is the only way to go. At BuyATimeshare.com we certainly agree, with thousands of timeshares for sale by owner, there properties are often priced to move immediately.
Timesharing is a great concept that bestows unmitigated luxury upon all who vacation. Unfortunately there is only a few ways to buy into this. You and yours can simply endure a lengthy presentation about how great and how versatile timeshares are, only to pay 300 times what they are worth. There is of course an alternative to this primary market—the secondary or the resale market. BuyATimeshare.com has been at the forefront for over a decade and we are seeing a genuine increase in the popularity of timeshare resale. Our company was one of the first to initiate the resale idea, helping those who have bought into the aggressive sales people and no longer use or want their vacation property.
If you have sat though any one of these resort developers’ presentations you have seen firsthand the gambit of high-dollar sales tactics you’re up against. After years and years of this, many people have gotten fed up with the false promises. Many investors have complained about sales people promising big profits within 1year. This is one of the most common pitfalls we hear about. Unfortunately the idea of making a profit from a timeshare is simply untrue. Once purchased they depreciate rapidly. Timeshares are an investment in lifestyle and the only profits are from the great vacationing experience that comes with them.
The hard selling developers are working in the NOW! They will try harder with unparalleled sales tactics to try and try to get you to sign THAT DAY! Any promises they make are certainly a ploy and most likely untrue. Some customers even claim that they were not informed about the annual maintenance fees and how they often increase over time. Maintenance fees are of course the first things an owner will see. After a few years of paying for something they have not used, the owner often becomes so frustrated that they seek out the resale market, to get whatever return on their “investment” that they can.
Developers may claim that “we deliver what we promise” however, once you give your precious signature, it will be off to the next unsuspecting vacation goer, and your new best friend sales associate, will become a stranger again. If you are interested in buying a timeshare, there are few places that will offer prices 30-50% less what that incredibly efficient sales professional will. Overall, these sales tours and presentations are great for a few concert tickets, perhaps dinner, and sometimes cold hard cash—all for sitting through a timeshare spiel.
If you are vacationing in Florida and would like the free gifts they promise, then by all mean sit through the production, do not sign a single piece of paper, and watch the sales tactics in action—it really is a sight to be seen. All over the internet there are reports of how superior the resale market is, warnings of timeshare scams, and developers’ ridiculous prices. Visit BuyATimeshare.com and see for yourself that there is still away for superior vacationing at a price fit for any budget.
VPR Employee Swims “The Moat”, Dubbed the Infamous “Swamp Boy”!!! June 19, 2008
Posted by dconnolly in : Timeshare Resource , 1 comment so far
It began as a regular day like any other, when a feat so appalling turned one ordinary supervisor into a renowned superhero! B.G. or “Swamp Boy” braved the mullet and bacteria-infested water to bring office morale to an all-time high.
“I started to get a little nervous after what Ed told me…” said Swamp Boy before the plunge.
In the end, a distance of 200 meters that was swam by Swamp Boy was a world record for the moat, which has been both driven in by a lady with a t-shirt that read “I’m with stupid —->” and used as a public latrine as well as a bathtub for the homeless.
Swamp Boy has no future plans of swimming the moat again, but instead plans on building a house in the Everglades to wrestle the American alligator. “I’ve always thought Aldo shoes were overpriced,” said Swamp Boy, “I’m gonna get me some gator boots!”
