Try Lake Texana. The mosquito and gator views are awesome.?
Lake Livingston's full too.
Lake Texana! Used to go there as a kid. What a glorious **** hole. Now Coleto Creek...that's where I'd like a place...
No comps in the summer months????? Crickets.............................................

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.
Challenge accepted. Here are Week 25 and 26 for $1000-1500.

Great thread! Thanks for the entertainment guys, need it during this rockets beatdown.
No reply to KW02? <Crickets>

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.

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.
Wait ... so you get cheap lodging at other locations... when most people really can't go on vacation??? Where do I sign up?
Bluecatag... off peak vacation season kingpin.
This thread makes me happy. Some good family friends of ours have a time share and love it. They are always talking about how they can go to all these different places and their kids can use it, etc. For as long as we've known them, it has been used exactly 0 times.
KW02, good find, looks like fair mkt value is $1000 to $1500.
Just some further color on the RCI exchange and thanks for all the ridicule as this has made me evaluate the worth and usage of the unit and the RCI exchanges. My wife did a search today for our 2013 banked week, we never use the weeks in Conroe, we just bank them with RCI for an exchange. Our 2013 exchange is worth 21 points, we can get a place in Breckenridge that we have used before, Valdoro Mountain Resort which is a Hilton vacation property, very nice two bdrm with sleeper, base of Peak and 2 blocks from down town, here is the link:
http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/colorado/valdoro-mountain-lodge-by-hilton-grand-vacations-suites-QKBVAGV/index.html
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.

Here is article on timeshare king Seigel building a $100 mill home in Orlando thanks to ZIRP and QE, thanks fed, dumb **** would have gone bankrupt in 2008 without all the govt bailouts, this zerohedge.com is the best financial site out there if you are not aware of it.

So despite how awesome this thing is, you didn't use it in 2013?
And it saves you about $115/night, but with an upfront cost of $3750? So it will take 10 years to break even if some sucker buys it from you?

I have a timeshare during Spring Break in Northern Kauai. Was a wedding gift during our honeymoon in 2009.
We've used the points to fly to Wisconsin once and Las Vegas once. The rest have been banked or expired. Fees are $36 a month.
Selling for $5000 so I can buy the professional camera and equipment I need.

Here is the Valdoro Mtn lodge on VRBO, goes for $300 to $400 per night in the summer.

BQ03, you also have to factor in the use of the Silverleaf family of resorts throughout Texas and the Southeast, those you get for your annual membership dues.
So, I have 2013 and 2015 banked with RCI, that is two free weeks that have been banked that is worth about $2100 per year, 2013 and 2015, since we have already paid the annual fees and dues for those years. So it looks like I was accurate on the $3750 after taking into consideration the value of the Endless Escapes, summer month week of my unit, two banked RCI weeks. I will sell the unit for $3750 and throw in two Bama vs Aggie tix this fall, section 116, row 29, and a Lot E parking pass.
Gigem,

Gigem,
My grandparents had a couple summer timeshares on Lake Conroe for 7-8 years. Played that ****ty putt putt course many a time with backwoods cousins who were tickled to death with it.
After realizing we hadn't been for a couple years I asked what happened to it at our last family get together and the room went dead silent. Smiles turned to blank stares of rage.
The maintenance fees became too much and my grandparents got worked over to the tune of $20K to opt out of the contract.
My grandpa heaved a sigh and said well it was worth it to spend time with the family. We had good memories. I realized then that's how this crap keeps happening. People will always find a way to justify getting fleeced.
Couldn't really get any excat financial details out of anyone. One of those we will never speak of this again.

ATM 9000, you pay the SAME annual fee and RCI fee per year regardless if that is a year you use the trade, do the $900 figure(carrying cost for 2 years) is totally accurate.
Why am I selling? Have a deer lease in Wimberley, Condo in Bryan(Traditions) so don't have as much time for this or flexibility(kids in HS and College) to schedule the trade trips in the summer. Since this resort is worth less in trade value than the ones I am getting in CO you have to be flexible on when you can go.
Wow. A time share on Lake Conroe and a condo in Bryan.
You really enjoy the finer things in life.
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.

Good god, youre the typical smug ******* that buys into these things then doesnt get why no one else can understand why this is such a great deal.
ferris, your momma!! I could care less who buys them.
I was getting slammed and saying it was worth $0 and just provided hard evidence for my case that the real value was $3750. Sheet, I have two college/HS kids that have cars, drive, insurance, a deer lease(camper trailer, 4 wheelers, jeep, blinds, etc etc on the lease) a condo, golf cart, all kind of junk. So the $5k I spent on this and $400/year carrying cost on this is a rounding error. If you have older college/HS aged kids like I do you will understand.

Nice humble brag bro.
I say hold on to it and give it to one of your kids when they graduate.

Can you give us a rundown on your extensive VHS collection as well.
ag07, I got something you hold on to!! LOL. I was pointing out the overhead involved with everything else vs the timeshare, not all the junk I own.

Or help this guy out and pay his tuition, but instead of having him pay you back with the interest get him to sign a contract saying he'll buy your timeshare.
He gets his tuition covered and you get out of the money pit you got roped into. Win-Win
You're welcome

He only needs about $3,000. It's a good deal that gives you an out.

It is hilarious to watch you continue to berate people who don't want to buy something you were stupid enough to buy. Please continue.

Gigem,
3rd coast, I could give a sheet. No one is pointing a gun to anyones head to buy this thing. I am defending myself from the personal attacks. With the two free weeks of vacation use i have banked I really prefer to just keep it for now until I use those up, then sell it, unless someone just demands to have it.
