Several years ago, I 9and several others here) responded to an ad for a new travel publication, Timeshare Globe. It comes sporatic, and is unually in a brown envelope with almost a $2.00 fee for postage.
I have reported on past issues.....it is a slick, looks like 12 color print and expensive looking.
In the past, it had advertisements for some T/S companies, and sevedral articles on what you might find and do in various vacation areas of the world. They always had some kind of T/S advertisement.
This Nov/Dec 05 edition still is slick with lots of color....but....except for 3 or 4 advertisements from major companies, {it has 52 pages. $4.50 in USA. Still printed by Bob Matous} , it only has time share sales listed...and rental prices are over what many tuggers might pay for a week.
Example: Sheraton Vistana Cascades 2bd 2 ba Bi-annual week 40 is only $29,000 - for sale...WOW!
A Special:
I remember reading a lot about the Fiesta De Cortez about a 4 hour drive from Phoenix or Tucson. (Search on Google)
For $8000, you get a non saleable week (100 years) or 4 weeks for 25 yrs) with no maint fees ever (??)...2 bed 2 bath...up to $9900 for all red. (RCI)
I think that Bob Matous might sell a lot more resales if he would check resale prices in other areas.......
If anyone remembers, I thought this publication was OK last year....(even though I read tuggers responses to the company not usually positive). There had always been several articles about travel....with tons of color pix...
Now....unfortunately, it is simply a book of over priced resale weeks for rent or sale.....But, still colorful.....
