<prompt> Human: tldr I bought an RCI Vacation Village timeshare with my wife this past Sunday. They are giving me 10 days to cancel. Read on and respond with your input to to help me ultimately decide if I should cancel or not...It all started 18 months ago when I got a phone call from a telemarketer offering me a 2-night cruise packaged with 2-night hotel stay with meals included for 268. I could use the package anytime within 18 months. It was right before I was getting married so I figured it would be a good first year married vacation. I had a little bit of extra money to spend and I thought, why not? If theyre offering me something for a decent price, and I just have to sit through a timeshare presentation for a couple hours, I think thats pretty good. The timeshare presentation is disclosed right at the end when youre making your purchase and theyre giving you all the disclosures. I felt I had the willpower to say no. I am a man of reason. And I am very picky where I spend my money. I am also very anti-consumption and minimalist. I rarely purchase consumer goods as a luxury, usually only necessity. I never buy clothes. I just wear the old ones I have. Anyway, they wanted the money the same day so I asked and they said I had a 3-day cancellation period so I figure I can go and read some reviews and then cancel if I made a mistake. Well, the only review I could find was 1 review. It was of a lady speaking positively about the company I bought the trip from and how much she enjoyed her trip. I figure thats a 100 success rate, so I decide to keep it. I dont know why I couldnt find any other reviews. But the whole thing sounded like I was getting my moneys worth.So I decided to use the vacation for our one-year anniversary. Which was July 31st, last weekend. We did the trip. Overall, it was great! First we stayed 2 nights in the Ramada Ft. Lauderdale, and there is this buffet they give you vouchers to so you get 3 meals a day, which I was happy about. The food was good. It was what you would expect at a hotel. Down home American food. There was a pool and jacuzzi and a tiki bar you could buy drinks. I loved sipping a 5 draft beer by the pool. My wife and I just kinda hung out, made friends with the front desk staff, tried to play in the game room but they only take tokens and their token machine was broken :. So the game room was our only thing to do, so on our full day I took advantage of the extra sleeping time. So between the hotel stay and the cruise is the timeshare presentation. If you dont sit through the timeshare presentation, you dont get the cruise. But up front they say you are in under no obligation to purchase. So we go and on the way in my wife whispers to me, I dont think we should buy one of these. We have to spend our money wisely. I told her I agreed, well just listen to what they have to say and get our cruise tickets. So we were there with a bunch of other people who took advantage of the trip, a lot of young couples. They assign 1 salesman per couple. We were lucky enough to get 2 because one of them was in training and shadowing. At the first room where everyone goes in, they try to break the ice with the lead sales guy who pretends hes a comedian but you can tell he tries too hard to be funny, and isnt that funny. But he seems like a nice guy. His sales points were you go on vacation anyway you get deeded property that you can pass down to your children. In my mind Im thinking yeah, but what if you cant get rid of it?So after the introductory presentation each couple goes with their agent to view the model Vacation Village condo unit. I ask the saleswoman if she made a commission off the sale. She said no. I, in response say oh, thats great! Now I dont have to feel pressured to buy as much. Hehe. She looks at me and smirks. So she takes us to the place.It has 2 units, a master suite, and a guest suite, each with their own locks. Overlooks the pool. Seems pretty nice. Good product. Nothing wrong with it for someone whos into that. Me, I already live in Florida 2 hours away. I dont want to vacation in Weston, a place Im not too excited about just because The Rock lives there. He probably has another house in my town in Southwest Florida. That was one of their primary selling points. That celebrities live there. However, the development is surrounded by preserved land in the Everglades, and was grandfathered in before building regulations were implemented to prevent further building, so that is good for the property value, but I dont believe timeshare value is congruent with ireali real estate value. I figure, if I want to vacation I can just rent an AirBnb and go anywhere I want in the world. Id rather own a house than timeshare. I never liked owning a condo anyway because of the quarterly fees and the association restrictions. So a timeshare is even inferior to that. But there were a lot of people around enjoying the pool and looked like they were enjoying themselves. In the elevator I asked one of the residents if they were enjoying it. They said yes and talked about how they travel all over the world. Seemed pretty excited and happy about it so that was a good sign. But the laundry facilities are shared, which is a major downside for people truly wanting to take a vacation. So we get back to the sales center and the 2 saleswomen sit my wife and I down and start giving us the details. You get 1 week at your unit that you can sublet or let family stay at. But their primary feature is that you can trade a week for anywhere else in the Vacation Village network for a 169 fee or anywhere in the RCI network for 239. On top of that there are maintenance fees bi-yearly about 900. So after the major questions are asked and answered, she presents us with 2 proposals for 2 different timeshares. One is 28k priced down from 32k if bought today, requires a 2000 deposit, and 875year maintenance fees. The other is 17k priced down from 21k and was like a week less or something I forget. The talented saleswomen asks, which one of these looks more attractive to you. I point to the cheaper one because I couldnt fathom taking on 28k in debt and enjoying it at the same time. I look at my wife, and she agrees and nods her head. So she writes down all the fees and stuff and asks for a 2000 deposit. Im like well, the way my bank account works is I have to move some money around, wait 3 days, and stuff like that so to Kevin Hart. The saleswomen, beginning to look irritated and not so much the friendly tour guide we knew from earlier in the trip, which was beginning to look sketchy because of what she had told me earlier about not getting paid a commission. I get up and excuse myself to the restroom. As I walk by a room whose door was accidentally open, I noticed a leaderboard on a white board. I thought, oh goody! Ill give it a better look on my way back and see if my saleswoman is on it, then I can tell if she was lying. Well, I couldnt find it, plus I forgot her name, but it was mostly dudes names and I didnt see any names that matched her culturally. So I dont know what is going on with that. So I get back, my wife is still excited. Must have talked their sales magic to her while I was away. The sales woman says can you write a check? I didnt bring my check book. Well need 2000 today. I politely tell them no thanks. But I think Ill just have to say no and not waste either of our time anymore. All the while my wife is wanting to move forward, but respects my decision to say tell them no, so lets me. Saleswoman excuses herself and comes back with the big boss guy. He says, Ill tell you what since youre a Florida resident, Ill see what I can do for you. He goes inside and comes back and brings 2 more timeshares. 1 is 3 weeks for 15,000. The other is 2 every 2 years for 10,000. This is a once-in-a-lifetime offer, he says. But the minimal I can put down is 500. I say, Ill look in my bank accounts, and see how much we can possibly put down. Lets see whats in my spending accounts available now. So I look in my 3 different spending accounts and add them all up to be 273. There is one I had access to but refused to touch it and pretended I forgot about it, and thankfully, at first, did. He says the lowest down payment he can legally accept is 500. I tell him I have more money in other banks but its Sunday and it takes 3 days to transfer. I say, can we come back and buy another day after the moneys transferred? They say no. This is the only day we can offer you that price. So I say oh well. I guess theres nothing we can do. Sorry about that. Can we get our cruise tickets now?. They conceded defeat and brought us to another room. We did it! I thought, feeling accomplished. My wife looked a bit depressed, but was excited we were about to go on the cruise.Then in the next room another woman came in and started asking us for a survey of how the previous salespeople did. She asked how much was the timeshare they offered you? what was the down payment? What did you dislike about it? I told her even though they say they are not high pressure salesman, they are if they are only offering a price one day only. She said, well, thats how the business goes. She seemed like a nice lady. So she asks what kept us from buying. We told her about the down payment. My guard was down because I didnt think she was a saleslady. She said she was from the Chamber of Commerce department, or something or other. She begins proposing 2 more timeshares at a considerably lower value in different locations, one for 7000 the other, for 5000, a beach front at the Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort, and includes 3 weeks with 875 bi-yearly fees. She says which do you like better? We agree on the 5000 one, not intending to purchase. Than it was nearing time we had to be boarding the cruise and we had to go so she rushes us into getting started because my wife was onboard with the thing, even though I was only in listening-to-details-and-getting-more-information mode. The lady and some other guy starts rushing us to make a decision. They said we have to get the deals in by 2:00 and it was 1:58. So not able to think straight at all as I had no idea how any of this work, we implicitly agree to proceed just by the fact we had to get out of there. Which is very good salesmanship skills. So they rush us and we sign all the papers. I ask can we definitely cancel? She says yes, but we dont like to think about cancelling. Besides, Ive never had a cancellation in that building. In ten days. In writing. Yes, you get your deposit back.So what do you guys think? After 5000 is paid off all I would have to pay is the 875 every two years plus 239week up to 3 weeks and go anywhere in the world, and possibly rent out the time share unit week. I do enjoy indulging on all-inclusive resorts, gorging myself with food and drink. But thats just one of the few upsides. A lot of baggage as well. Please provide any input necessary in helping me decide whether to cancel by Tuesday.edit: grammar. - addition: being in real estate sales myself, I know the value of real estate, and a timeshare is not an asset. It is a luxury.tldr: Bought timeshare. Have 3 days left to cancel. Please objectively reply how a timeshare might be a good deal. I am receiving all no answers. I am not seeing any appreciation for the fact that it could be an asset of a vacation. Like I could go on bomb ass vacations the rest of my life for 239 plus small yearly fee, so its like owning a vacation asset like a condo but it comes with the perks of vacationing.  <response>: I read your wall of text. You seemed to be on top of it and you got conned anyway? Show your wife these posts too, I cant believe they got her to change her mind so easy.Cancel.
