- Yea, just think about it. 10k (roughly) for a week timeshare x 52 is
- 520k for that one single unit. Now, several timeshares around here
- have 50-100 units, just think of the $$$ that involves (25-50
- MILLION). I'll tell you one thing, 520k for a stinking (or even a
- nice one :^) ) 2 bedroom anything, just about anywhere in the world is
- a lot (excepting places like Manhattan).
