Hi folks -
Talk about jumping in with both feet! I am new to timeshares, but after lots of reading about both the postives and negatives on this Board and others, I bought two annual 13k Bluegreen packages this week - 1 on Ebay at Marathon and 1 at Shore Crest II directly from a non-Bluegreen-authorized reseller. I am VERY happy with the price/point but I am sure that there are other things that I probably paid too much for.
I am going to study the contracts with great care, but I would welcome any tips on particular issues to lookout for with BG resales. I should also add that in neither case was I successful in selecting my own closing company, and in one case I am required to use Resort Closings, Inc. (not a personal favorite of some on this Board).
Here are some questions that I have without even seeing the first contract -
1) exactly what should I look for in the contract that tells me which trust the timeshares belong to? Will it be obvious? I am particularly concerned about finding evidence of either timeshare belonging to the B Trust.
2) the Marathon EBay ad mentioned a special assessment but I think I read in another thread that there is no SA for 2008. Is that right?
3) what don't I know enough about to even ask you?
Thank you in advance. I am very excited about buying into what I believe will be a very fun and usable "vacation structure" for my family (just the two of us if you don't count our 10 rescued dogs!)
