Yes, it can be a real job to be rid of a timeshare but if you know that what you purchase has a built in exit program it can be very easy to get out when you want to.
Yes, I'll agree. The problem is that one of the things the salespeople bring up in the presentation is that, if you want to sell it down the road, you can easily sell it for well over what you are paying at the today-only special price.

....but I also don't understand how you sign a whole set of documents with no idea what you are actually signing. If you don't have time to read through the contract then and there...
It's called just wanting to get out of there. Likely the buyers had been there for well over the supposed "90-minute" presentation and just wanted to get out of there. After all, isn't that why most people sign on the dotted line? How many stories have we heard here on TUG about how the buyers were subjected to a marathon of a presentation that was supposed to last only 90 minutes?

After a drudging session like that, who's going to sit and read through a kajillion pages of legal jargon? Unfortunately in cases like this, the buyer is not thinking straight after this lengthy session and is just wanting to get out of there and will do anything to get out of there including signing a document that the sales person so eloquently (but inaccurately) explained.

I never understand how people say they agreed just to be able to get out. Doesn't it take a good hour or longer for them to draw up the paperwork and sign everything?
