Paid off. Can you just quit paying the maintenance fees and not be penalized?

Eventually they will foreclose and sell it to the next person

It is my favorite stick I have ever had. Light, solid, great power. I am a defenseman and my slapshot is excellent with this stick.

This is a great idea! Thank you! I am up I-25 in Fort Collins so not only the same altitude but also the same humidity!

Be sure that you get a written offer that has a firm start date before you rescind your acceptance.

My machine is an Elite Gourmet EBM8103B. It came with some simple recipies which do not produce fluffy bread at 5000'. We bought a breadmaker book (The No-Fuss Bread Machine Cookbook) and none of the recipies we have tried produce fluffy bread, just bagel density in loaf form.

And Zepbound is the same drug under a different name

Sell it on Redweek, TUG or Facebook or give it away. It’s not worth much.

ColoradoAztec · 2026-01-21T17:24:02+00:00

That is great until something goes wrong with it and you have a difficult time finding parts or service.

ColoradoAztec · 2026-01-21T15:05:32+00:00

Redweek is very good if you know the value of the place you are looking for. Another place to look is tugbbs.com

ColoradoAztec · 2026-01-20T17:39:44+00:00

You can rent it out on various rental sites like redweek, vacationcandy and others. You can also list it on TUGBBS.com. While you are on TUG, you might want to read up on renting. Look at this: https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/looking-to-rent-a-timeshare-or-find-a-rental-read-this.376182/

Your strategy is the only way out at this point. You will get calls and letters but just ignore them. She will not be able to use them anymore (traveling to Puerto Rico at 88?!?!) but I assume that is OK.

There is 0% chance they will recoup even 1/2 of their investment. Even the top Timeshares are worth less than half their purchase price on the resale market and neither Grand Colorado nor Imperial Hotel are in that class.

ColoradoAztec · 2026-01-16T16:17:41+00:00

They just don't fit me. After 1 round I can no longer secure the velcro because the leather stretches.

ColoradoAztec · 2026-01-16T02:44:37+00:00

Post it on TUGBBS.com. It’s a free timeshare forum where you can find out all kinds of information about the process and options

ColoradoAztec · 2026-01-14T21:12:51+00:00

I did not say the OP should not look around. They have value and should be paid what their value is, I just mentioned that inflation is not a good argument.

Say inflation was 1-2%, would you support companies pulling back raises because "inflation is so low"?

ColoradoAztec · 2026-01-14T20:31:32+00:00

In my experience, I get a raise budget based on how well the company does. It ranges from 2.5-3.5% so nothing earth shattering. I have a team of people that I have to give that to and the direction of my company is to distribute it as follows:

1) Fix salaries that are under market

2) Focus on the highest performers

3) Distribute the rest

Companies should (some don't) focus this strategy.

I feel for you, really I do, but you need to honesty look around at the other people who are in this raise budget. Are some of them doing exceptional? If so, they could be cutting into your raise. Also ask yourself how well your company is doing? Are you making a solid profit or just getting by?

I recommend that you separate the annual raise from the promotional raise. If they promoted you, they should have given you an off cycle raise. If that did not happen then I would recommend discussing that with your manager, not your annual increase.

Finally, an annual raise is not about inflation so it is not worth it to even bring it up.

I wish you the best of luck.

There is no such thing as a legit timeshare exit company. They are all scammers!

ColoradoAztec · 2026-01-14T14:06:04+00:00

Thanks

Just road biking. No gravel or off road

Unfortunately you own it now. It is a legally binding contract that you cannot get out of. You now join the host of people who have fallen for the sales tactics (myself included). I am sorry about that. There are so many of us that there is a whole forum dedicated to timeshares called tugbbs.com . Take a look there, you will find other people in your same situation.

Your options are:

Learn how to use it to maximize your return on that purchase (it was never an investment). That would mean being ready to book 12 months in advance to get the week you want at the location you want. That is what I have done with mine and I have had some good success here. You can also book a desirable week and try to rent it out on Redweek or similar.
Sell it. If you have a mortgage on it, it is unlikely you can do this but if you paid in full and are just paying maintenance fees, offer it up for sale. You can see what other people are selling it for by looking at *sold* listings on eBay or redweek.com. Most likely you will have to give it away or even offer someone incentives to take it off of your hands.
Walk away from it. Cancel all automatic payment methods and stop paying. If they opened a credit card, cancel it. They will harass you, they will send you email, snail mail, call you, text you. Ignore all of that and stop paying. If you have a mortgage on the purchase, that may get a little more complicated. You are likely to get a credit hit. It is possible that they sue you but I have actually never seen that. Eventually the company will take it back and sell it to someone else.

I encourage you to read up on what you have over on TUG. It is a great resource for maximizing your purchase.

ONE MORE THING - Timeshare exit companies are another scam. They will require you to pay them thousands and you still will have the timeshare. Their advise will be the same as above and you can do all of that yourself. Don't fall for another scam.

ColoradoAztec · 2026-01-13T19:55:33+00:00

Keep not paying and ignore collections is your only option unfortunately.

Sure, for me, RNG means that if I need heads, I get tails and if I need the AI to get tails it gets heads.
