$210 booking fee, $2100 less $210 is $1890 x 2 = $3780 just for those two weeks and does not include the Endless Escapes and future rights to banked RCI weeks, plus the Bammer Tix and parking. All in the value with the tix is closer to $5000 but I am giving fellow texagers a deal.

Ok, yall have me thinking now about finding the real value and making somebody a deal. This has been a good exercise on what I own, what I get, value, etc etc.
Timeshare values are based on a multitude of variables like most anything. Let me give you an example that even a Caveman or Texags reader would understand. Say I offer you an Alabama tix this Fall for $200. That might or might not be a good deal. If it is a single tix on the top row corner of the South endzone then $200 is prob not that great a deal. If it is 4 seats together at $200 each in a suite or West Club with A lot parking then that is a homerun. Timeshares trade the same way, what is the location, week you own, trading power with RCI to get other resorts, trading or Bonus time within your family of timeshares, in this case Silverleaf. So you cant say this Silverleaf timeshare is worth $1 so this other one is worth $1 just like you can't say this Bama tix is worth $200 so this other tix is worth $200, does that make sense?
KW02, you found the $1 timeshare but that is week #5, the first week Feb. Maybe good if you own in a snow ski town but not so much in Conroe. As you can imagine, in most locations the most value is going to be Spring Break, Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Years and over the Summer months. I challenge you to find a Silverleaf (SL) Piney Shores weeks 23-34 (June to August) for less than $3750, the cheapest I saw on the site you referenced was $15,900. Lets assume that's an annual usage and divide by 2 so roughly $7800.
In addition my unit was purchased prior to 2006 so I qualify for what is called Endless Escapes in odd years, the year I have access to the resort. So in the odd years, based on availability I can get unlimited Bonus time for free for up to 6 nights at time, reserved up to two weeks out. For example, today when I called I could get into any resort but this is early May, when kids are in school. Obviously it would be much more difficult over Spring Break, x mas, summer etc. Their are 13 SL resorts in places like Branson, Orlando, Canyon Lake, Georgia, East Tx, here is the complete list.
http://www.silverleafresorts.com/resorts
If you joined after 2006 you pay $50 for weekend nights. So today, I could book in Orlando or Canyon Lake for a week for free. ****, I had forgotten about this benefit, thanks for making me do the research.
So find me a SL Piney Shores that is week 23-34 and has a deed prior to 2006 that qualifies for the Endless Escapes. Also, I am a ticket broker and bot 144 tix in the New Kyle Field, 12 sections with max 12 tix and I have 20 parking passes all H lot or better. Once we all decide on a fair, apples to apples price, I will throw in 4 tix of your choice and parking pass to a game this fall.
Also, I have the 2013 and 2015 week banked with RCI(resorts all over the world and where I have traded for Vail, Breck, park city, pagosa, etc) and I will try to look over the weekend to see what is avail in CO or UT in a trade, summer months only, I don't have the trading power to get winter in those locations.
Anyway, find me a value. Gigem
Since this entire post reads like a condescending diatribe, let me explain what most of the rest of those on this thread are trying to explain to you......that even a caveman, Texags poster, or idiot that fell for a sales scam can understand.
We get that going to Lake Conroe in February isn't very desirable or not as desirable as going during Spring Break or the summer. That said, even staying in the luxurious 2 bedroom upscale condominums of Piney Shores for a whole week during Spring Break, June, whenever the f-ck it is warm outside you're sharing a property with a bunch of uneducated goofs who fell for the same scam that you did.
Most of those on this board have 0 desire to "vacation" next to a bunch of overweight, Budweiser crushing, sleeveless No Fear shirt & jort wearing bumpkins along with their 5 mullet sporting, Croc wearing children on "vacation." That doesn't sound like something that any of us would want to do for free, much less pay damn near 4k for. Comprende?
We all get you can trade and barter some of this sh-t to people, but you have to find a willing taker, which honestly seems like a huge pain in the ass to begin with. So like 99% of the rest of the people on this thread, I'll continue to take my vacations wherever and whenever the f I want without having to worry about planning around specific months or being limited to wherever some damn company owns specific properties.

My 2 cents, which I'm sure you'll listen to judging by your posts on this thread, is that whenever you find a sucker to buy this from you, you should ditch it all together and invest that money that this pile of poop would normally cost you into that lease in Wimberley. Of course, I'm a bit biased as my extended family has lived there for going on 25 years now. Better investment for ya there, bub. Hell my uncle is the insurance guy there and another owns the biggest construction business in the area so despite your condescending tone, I could get you a deal on both items.

I love when...
- People actually think they can get good advice, input, etc on here and
- People think that all these responses are serious
I love this thread
Even if only one thread, it is so great to see this board back to its old form.
Ok texags, uncle. You've convinced me, this is the worst investment I have ever made in my life and you would not believe the mental anguish, sleepless nights, empty whiskey bottles, marriages, child beatings, dog kickings and drug use this has caused. Yes, this $5k investment back in 1999 and the $350/YEAR (averaged) annual expense has been the single worst investment decision of my entire life. Did I also mention I am the greatest investor of all time, Buffett, Loeb, Einhorn, Soros, Druckenmiller, et al have nothing on me. I have never bought a stock at the wrong time, I have never tried to catch a falling knife on a stock only to see if fall further, I have never bought Apple and make a 50% profit only to see if go up another 1000% percent waiting for it to dip to get back in. I have never bought high and sold low, I have never traded options and futures and lost money, I'm batting 1000. Thanks for helping me own this and realize this, this is the first step, thank you.
Puddy, yes, those are the families you see in Breckenridge, Vail, Park city and Cozumel--You nailed it!!
How did you know, do you have ESPN or something?

Right.because that is what you advertised in your OP was those places..I forgot.

Selling for $3750 and you have use in odd years in late June or you can trade for another week. The next cheapest one is $5000. You can also join RCI and trade for resorts in other areas, we have used places all over CO.

We can also exchange for Cozumel and Cancun. So the cost is the annual fee of $410, plus the annual RCI fee of $70 plus a $210 exchange fee. So multiply $410 and $70 times 2(pay even and odd years) plus $210 and you are around $1270 for a week at nice place, so around $185 per night for place with fully stocked kitchens, bathrooms etc. I think if you rented a place like this it would be around $300 a night so it pencils out.
$300 a night for a 2 bedroom condo in Cancun? Wife and I rented one w/ 2 others couples for a wedding... it was right on the beach in a fairly new and nice building 2 years ago. Late June rental and the condo was $150/night... nowhere close to $300/night.
The thing about a time share is that it is either going to be worth a little more than what you paid for it as an individual or little less depending on your usage of it. Most people who buy and don't use it at every opportunity don't think 'Man... this is killing me and bankrupting me' but like most humans they aren't going to admit it was a dumb thing to use their money on. Same way, the people that buy and use often know they aren't saving multitudes of money by investing in one and know they are closer to breakeven when considering the opportunity cost of the money they gave up upfront. What it comes down to is most real estate has a lot of extrinsic value attached to it... time shares basically have none because the optionality around use is really close to zero. In other words, not only are you giving the investment money... but you are letting it ring fence your time. That's what makes them such a silly purchase... and the OP knows this.
I bet if anyone saw all of these posts and called his mobile number (which I'm surprised none of your psychos have yet) and offered to buy the timeshare for $1, the OP would probably agree and throw in his precious Alabama tickets too to be out of it considering he's tipped his hand and basically admitted he hasn't been able to use in 4 years... the $400 'rounding error' drives him nuts, he knows the time share isn't worth anything to him and he's basically flushing money down the toilet.
I just read this whole thread and it took me until page 4 to realize the OP is serious. One of my favorite threads of all time.

Texan76, is that your age? Who pulled your chain old man? By insulting Bryan you insult 95% of the people on texags, you must be closet sip.

And Bryan is a dump. College Station is a good College town because it has a badass University. I would have zero desire ever to spend my vacation time in Bryan, Texas. Or Lake Conroe.
ATM900, $150 a night for a condo in cancun WITH another couple, yahoo, can I travel with you?? Did you get a Thompson submachine gun and machete on check in??? Holy Sheet I would love to see that place.
Texan76, have you ever been out to traditions? I guess everybody building million dollar homes on the course are dumb arses but your the smartest guy in the room, I can tell. Great to have a place on game weekends, parents weekends, graduation weekends that is nice, 5 minutes from campus, top notch golf course, restaurant and club house as opposed to paying $300 a night at the dirt bag CS Hilton.

Yea, those places all look like sh-t holes. Right in the hotel zone with all of the luxury resorts. Defeinitely a risk of getting beheaded.
quote:They are sh@t holes regardless if they are anywhere near luxury resorts. And seems you have been a little beheaded by your *****ing on this thread. Especially since you have no interest in a timeshare. This a place where you feel wanted? Gives you purpose?

Are you one of those lunch teeth brushing dildos and did someone shat in your toothpaste today? Calling me out because I think timeshares are a stupid scam with plenty of evidence out there proving my point? I feel like I'm being called fat by Mark Mangino right now.
