Many years ago (before even the 2007-09 events), my wife and I got enticed with some offer to attend a presentation. Went to the presentation where the big boss thought we were likely buyers and took it on himself to do the selling to us. Took us about 2 minutes of discussion to agree it wasn't for us (and much less time to get shuffled down the back stairs exit). Went home to look at resales and, IIRC, comparable units in the same place were selling for 4-8¢ on the $. I believe this was in late winter or early spring just about the time before annual fees are due - est time to buy, apparently.

I look forward to seeing how much one could get paid to take it away.
