Comparing apples to oranges doesn't work for me --- they are too different...
I cant speak to every Newton Group transfer, but if you are really interested, I can provide you with numerous deeds that I have, transferred to me from Newton Group customers. I assure you my name is valid, and Im now paying the maintenance fees.
"spockmckoy" was not a buyer, as you are, but instead someone trying to
unload a unwanted timeshare.
Spock reported paying a (unspecified, but to quote spock, "expensive") figure to Newton Group Transfers in order to get rid of a unwanted timeshare, but did
not ever subsequently report actually "closing the loop".
In short, from your very limited viewpoint and perspective as a "buyer", I respectfuilly submit that you cannot possibly even
begin to know what Newton Group does (...after collecting their hefty upfront fee) with weeks for which they
can't find willing recipients like you. I'm reasonably sure there are
lots of such weeks.
Spockmckoy is thus far incommunicado on the closing of the loop part of his / her ownership(s) transfer(s), yet is prematurely waving the flag for Newton Group anyhow. Personally, I can't just blindly buy into that. YMMV. To each his / her own viewpoint and opinion.
I'm happy for
your reported success as a buyer from Newton Group Transfers, but (much like with PCC's) it seems to me to be incumbent upon the grantor (spock, in this case, since s/he voluntarily chose to wave Newton's flag
before any actual closing), to clearly identify the associated upfront costs
and to also later back up premature
hope for a future transfer, presumably made to a
valid (i.e., not a Viking Ship) grantee. What a (lawful) recipient might
later do with weeks acquired from Newton Group is neither relevant nor anything under Newton Group's influence or control; that much is quite obvious and not under discussion.
Personally, I much prefer facts and specific details over mere speculation, unsubstantiated half-stories and / or premature "endorsements" lacking any actual basis from proven performance. Just call me a stickler...
