Possibly the worst investment offer I have ever seen. www.silverdavid.com/"Own part of the most valuable piece of art Ever created. We believe Michelangelo’s David in silver could sell for over $450M*, making it the most valuable piece of art in history. You have the exclusive opportunity to own a piece of it and earn a return from its sale."

I have been in several time share presentations in the 90s and got 2-4 Disney tickets each time. I planned them into our first day schedule. It was worth the 90 minutes.

I think they stole my silver bridge idea I was trying to find buyers for.

I went to a timeshare sell once and left feeling dirty. Never again. A buddy treated a bunch of us to a Marriot weekend and paid the price of attendance at a selling; when he joined us on the 4th tee he was in a terrible state, having endured the onslaught.

I went to a timeshare sell once and left feeling dirty. Never again. A buddy treated a bunch of us to a Marriot weekend and paid the price of attendance at a selling; when he joined us on the 4th tee he was in a terrible state, having endured the onslaught. Every time was a winner for me. The minute I show up, I let the host know the time we started and make him/her signed on it. Then, the whole family go to breakfast and we take our time really slow and spend about 30 minutes. At about 5-10 minutes into the one on one presentation, I tell them they can save a lot of time by giving me the tickets since there is zero chance I will buy it and I look at my watch and say timing is running out. At around 60 minutes the guy starts to give up and calls his supervisor and tells him my "story". The supervisor gets even more annoyed but still goes on. I tell him again, please save your time, give me the tickets and go to the fool. If that is not enough I tell them I will pay 30% of the price, that gets them going and I have another 10 minutes of good time. Meanwhile, every 5-10 minutes another foolish couple sign up and they toast the Champaign with the host Sometimes, at around 85 minutes, the big boss (the closer) calls me to his private room to have a chat. That really makes my day even brighter. At exactly 90 minutes, I stand up and say...oops, your time is up, please get me the tickets. A sucker is born every 10 minutes, but this time it's the host. Well, 2 Disney tickets are worth the 90 minutes for at least $300. We visited Disney in FL several times in the 90s, no more for us. I'm too old and loaded for this now.  Attachments:

Wife and I were in a resort in Cozumel and did a tour. We got a cheap mexican blanket, a pint of cheap tequila and a days rental of an old volkswagon thing. You may remember they were the little front wheel drive (I think), car that looked like the German version of a jeep in WWII. No suspension, no brakes, no roof and no gascap. Just a rag stuck in the hole. We drove it for the day. It was quite an experience. Some of my childhood friends have bought time shares, but we never have. We travel by RV so it doesn't make sense.
