We do!        This is the best RCI Points Package to own - not an opinion, a fact...       Are you looking to buy the most amounts of Points for the lowest prices or do you want to stay in the nicest resorts for the least amount of money? The world of RCI-affiliated vacation opportunities is a confusing place. At times you might feel like you need a GPS to find your way around. However, this deal is not confusing: Dollar for dollar, it will get you more fun, better accommodations, and fewer risks for less money than any other timeshare package you can buy today. If you’re willing to read on, you’ll discover why. Do you know exactly how many RCI Points you will need for your next vacation? Would you like to know? You should know; it will help you decide how many points to buy. I have to know how many points I will use, since I own numerous timeshares and, in the past 18 months my immediate family and office staff have exchanged for 35+ vacations with RCI. Most of the exchanges had RCI Point values of 60-80,000 Points per exchange; two of them were valued at 120,000 RCI Points. Would you like to know what I use for the exchanges? Let me show you. I am the one paying the maintenance fees so getting the most from each maintenance dollar is very, very important. I have been trading (exchanging) timeshares with RCI since 1981. Here is a list of some of our recent exchanges: 2007 Feb - Colorado - Gold Crown 2 bedroom 2 condos (same week) Mar - San Francisco - 1 condo Apr - Cabo San Lucas - Gold Crown 2 bedroom 2 condos (back to back) May - Breckenridge – 5 condos (same week) 6th year June- Orlando 10 condos (Orange Lake, Vistana, Hilton & Houses at Summer Bay w/private pool) + Airfare June- 4 Airfares to Orlando July-  Crested Butte Colorado – 3 bedroom 3 condos (back to back plus guest) Aug - Airfare to California Sept- Nashville Tennessee Wyndham -GC - 2 bedrooms 2 weeks - (3rd Visit) Oct - Rayburn Texas 1 condo (5th year) Nov - Saint Lucia Gold Crown - Honeymoon, (secretary's son) 1 condo Nov - Montgomery Texas - 2 bedroom 2 condos (Thanksgiving) 3rd year Dec - Montgomery Texas - 2 bedroom 5 condos (Christmas) 5th year Jan-   Puerto Vallarta - Grand Mayan - Gold Crown 2 bedroom -1 condo   2008 Feb - Montgomery Texas - 2 bedroom 2 condos (Super Bowl Party) Apr -  New York - Manhattan Club 1 week 1 bedroom Apr - Texas - Rayburn Country Club - 3 bedroom May - Hilton Head Island1 week 2 bedrooms GC Jun - Texas, South Padre Island 1 week 2 bedrooms Jun - Texas, Mustang Islang - GC - 1 week 2 bedrooms Jul   - Montana Glacier Area – 1 week 2 bedroom Jul   - Nashville Tenn - 2 days - North Carolina Mnts 3 bedroom 1 week – Gatlinburg Tenn 4 days Aug - Banff Canada – 2 Bedroom 2 weeks 2 resorts (back to back) Sep - Breckenridge -  (2) 2 Bedroom 1 Week Sep - Branson, MO 1 bedroom 1 week Oct -  Sedona - 2 Bedroom GC - 5 days  Nov - Manhattan Club 2 weeks (back to back) 1 bedrooms Nov - Texas - (3) units for Thanksgiving Dec - Flint Texas – 6 Condos – 2 bedrooms – Christmas Week   2009 Mar - Orlando - GC - 2 bedroom 1 weekApr - Cabo san Lucas - 3 bedroom Gold Crown - 1 week - Spring Break!Apr - Sedona - GC - 2 bedroom - Sleeps 8 - 1 weekMay - Branson - GC Cabin - Sleeps 8 - 1 weekJun - Aruba GC 1 bedroom 1 week - Honeymoon, (secretary's daughter!) Jul - Georgia 2 weeks - GC + SC 2bd - back to backAug - Colorado - 2 weeks - 3 bedroom units, 2 resorts, back to back 2010 Feb -  Puerto Vallarta - Grand Mayan - GC - 2 bedroom - 1 week April - Hilton Head - 3 bedroom - GC -  Stand alone on the Beach - 1 week Sept - Greece - Island of Crete - 2 bedroom Gold Crown 1 week I’ve listed these just to make the point that I have extensive experience with using RCI’s exchange system. When you make an exchange is when you know the relative value of something you own, whether it is a week at a timeshare or a certain number of points. What you can exchange it for (trading use), and what it cost you in the purchase price (one-time cost) and maintenance (on-going cost) is the key to value.   Before you can understand the value of this deal, you need to know a few things about how exchanges work in the RCI system …  When you make an exchange request online with RCI, the amount of Points required for that vacation is posted on the RCI website, whether it is searching for Weeks resorts or Points resorts. You can compare size, season, and length of stay for different point values. This is a live reservation system that allows you to browse and complete your exchanges online -- the same system that you and RCI will use when you call them. RCI Points are RCI Points.   You wouldn't want to spend 80,000-135,000 RCI Points for a Hilton Grand Vacation Club exchange if you can exchange the correct RCI Week for the same vacation. You must have a strong Week, (non-Points), in your RCI Weeks account to do this.   You wouldn't want to spend a whole years maintenance fee for an exchange if you can get there for 6000-9,000 RCI Points. You must be a RCI Points member to do this. Wouldn't you want to cover all the angles? This auction is the solution. Many of you are looking at this auction because you may have recently attended a timeshare presentation at a RCI Points resort, or you may have friend who owns at a RCI resort. You may be considering adding Points to your current account. Either way your have discovered that there is a better, less expensive way to buy RCI Points then to buy them directly from the resorts at retail. By now you are looking to purchase the most Points for the least money with the lowest possible maintenance fees, in a safe area. Am I on the money so far? You are looking to beat the last deal you considered, but are you getting the best value? Wouldn’t it be great if you could actually login to a RCI Points account before you buy and see how it trades? (It is possible – keep reading!!!) If only you could compare what is really available in both the RCI Points and the RCI Weeks system to what your family really needs. You are considering spending a considerable amount of money because you believe that timesharing does or would work with your family needs. Base your decision on what you know rather than what you have been told.    Before you relinquish your hard earned money you should know the answers to the questions below. These answers are based on the total amount of money spent and actual results found with “Live” RCI Points and Weeks accounts.   You should know which system would be best for you to use if you wanted to go to... Q. Aruba 10 days A. Points   Q. Disneyworld Gold Crown Peak Season A. Weeks   Q. Disney World off peak A. Points   Q. Mexico Gold Crown Peak Season A. Weeks   Q. The Westin in St. John A.

Both   If you are truly frugal you will learn to cover all of the angles, not just to make sure you get what you want but that you may have option to pay less for the same vacation.   If you are purchasing to exchange, be assured that I select properties to offer based on the best ratings in these areas:   1.)   History and financial stability of the resort 2.)   Maintenance 3.)   Contractual application with RCI 4.)   Trading Power 5.)   Cost 6.)   Points Value 7.)   Location   My qualifications: Trading Timeshares with RCI since 1981 Owned, Developed and Sold 12 Million USA RCI Points since 2003 Owned many and Sold 4,000 RCI Weeks in the past 26 years Owned many and Sold 1,000+ Select South Africa Weeks in the past 10 years Personally Advise 1600+ Current Clients (The most frugal, demanding, nicest people that walk this earth :-) Personally own and use 250,000 RCI Points per Year Personally own and use 20+ RCI Weeks per Year Trading Time is the RCI Points Reseller for Rayburn Country Club Owner of Trading Time 100’s of Posted Recent Exchanges on website 100’s of Client Testimonials Letters on website References upon request: My advice: New RCI timeshare buyers: Watch the maintenance fees. Do not sign a contract with maintenance over $400.00 unless you plan to go to that resort every year. The best laid plans can be changed by one hurricane. My advice to all RCI Members is to cover all of the RCI exchange angles and opportunities on both the RCI Weeks and RCI Points systems. When on vacation, our Points Only owners do not appreciate sitting next to our Weeks owners when they have paid 60,000-130,000 Points for that vacation time. Our Weeks Only owners do not appreciate sitting next to our Points owners when they have spent only 6,000-9,000 RCI Points for the same vacation. There is only one smartest person at the pool. (The gap to second place is huge!)    My invitation: I welcome you to call me and we will login to my RCI Points & Weeks accounts together. You must play by the computer rules. It helps to know what the rules are and when the inventory will become available; but also how many Points will be required. I have the answers to your questions. If you can talk with me and be on your computer at the same time, I will teach you more (the truth) about timeshares and RCI in 20 minutes than you can learn in a year in chat rooms and blogs. I have been selling and trading RCI timeshares since 1981. The difference is I will show you, not tell you. No yellow pads and wild promises. We will log on to the RCI site using one of my accounts and I will answer your questions with the results. I even have a cheat sheet for you to print and take notes. It may be the smartest 20 minutes you will ever spend. You will quickly understand the following:       1.)  Difference between RCI Points and RCI Weeks resort and rules.      2.) RCI Points           a.)  Points to Weeks (10-45 days 6-9000 exchanges)      b.)  Points to Points   (303 days)      c.)  Extra Vacations      d.)  Last Call Vacations      e.)  Points Partners      f.)  Ongoing searches to Weeks        3.) RCI Weeks - (inventory and exchanges offered to Weeks members is NOT the same inventory and exchanges offered to Points members!) If you assume it is, you will learn later. It is always better to understand what you can and will recieve before you buy...      a.)  Online trades (Weeks & Points Resorts)  b.)  Compare other timeshare Weeks  c.)  Extra Vacations  d.)  Last Call Vacations  e.)  Ongoing searches (Weeks Resorts)  f.)  Ongoing searches (Points Resorts)  g.)  Points for Deposit   Click for > RCI Points/Weeks -Information & Comparisons Charts   Ninety fine percent of our clients buy our Points to exchange. Everyone pays a maintenance fee. If you searched all of the qualified RCI Points resort available you would find, without question that the Rayburn Country Club has the lowest, most stable maintenance fees available. RCC experienced NO damage from Ike to the resort or condos. The resort has enjoyed a 98.8% units available to units paid ratio for 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008. This means 98.8% of budgeted money is collected each year enabling the same 21+ year management company to their job. When you combine these factors: stable low maintenance, the mild climate location, Three Hurricane, (Katrina, Rita & Ike), No Hurricane damage, No special assessments, experienced-proven management, and price, Rayburn Country Club is simply the Best RCI Points location to own. No increase in maintence planned or needed for 2009, 2010. Texas Law limits a 10% max increase per year. Visit the resort’s website - www.rayburncountrytimeshare.com  If you searched all of the 3700 RCI resorts to find the resort will superior trading power and a low stable maintenance fee it would our Dikhololo weeks. In the past 27 years I have owned and compared RCI Weeks trading power in 9 countries and most USA states. In addition; my 1600+ clients sometime owned timeshares before the met me. I have compared these also. In South Africa it is very expensive to travel outside the country, most South Africa RCI members travel within the country. South Africa is the European playground as Mexico and the Caribbean are to USA members. The constant demand and limited supply lend certain South Africa properties a terrific trading advantage. I challenge any RCI Weeks owners with banked Weeks to compare our trading power with theirs. Our Dikhololo weeks have proven to be the Best SA RCI exchange property. I have owned and traded Dikhololo since 1998. We will compare several other banked weeks from different resorts on the online tour. Visit the - Dikhololo Review   After many years and much research, I offer the best of both RCI worlds based on money, risk, and performance.

If you need more RCI Points simply deposit one or more of your Weeks for Points for Deposit. Use your Points for 2, or 3 day weekend trips to other Points Resorts. You may deserve a 8 to 21 day vacation at the Points Only Caribbean Resorts. This auction has enough Points to book the very best RCI has to offer. Come see what I have booked on line for 2008 & 2009!   I have been using the Week/Points for five years. Each system has saved me money or enabled me to make an exchange unavailable to the other system. The winner of this auction will establish RCI Points and RCI Weeks online accounts.

One year ago I almost bought a one week timeshare in Hawaii for $34,000 and a $1200 annual maintenance fee. I "Googled" the word "timeshare" to find out more before I jumped in and there you were just waiting to rescue me. I wanted someone to show me the ropes and I clicked on your website link. You took me under wing, and showed me the ropes.    For less than $10,000 COMBINED purchase price / $1100 annual COMBINED fees and one year later I own four properties! Plus I am a RCI Weeks & Points member.    Here is what we have done with our timeshares so far; Summer of 2004 I traded into a Hilton three bedroom next door to Sea World Orlando. (Hilton wanted $25,000/$500 for a two-bedroom they were building next door.). Spring of 2005 I traded into a Gold Crown two bedroom on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale. Thanksgiving 2005 I traded into a Westin Resort two bedroom in Puerto Vallarta, Mex. Spring of 2006 I'm already booked into another Hilton 2-bedroom on Marco Island, Fla.    Consider the annual fees alone and I'm in these four-star, two-bedroom resorts for $40 per night.  I was skeptical, now I'm amazed.  What's equally amazing is that you held my hand for as long as it took me to walk and are still there teaching me how to run!  I can't wait until we attack the mysterious Hawaiian Islands. I want to wait until my kids get a little older, and I'm sure you'll still be there to help. Thank you, thank you, thank you.   Very Sincerely, Baltimore MD   Update 10/15/07   You're still the best. Here are my recent trips and plans.    Orange Lake Country Club - RCI # (0670)   June 2007 -  Awesome Gold Crown, did I mention three bed, three bath?   Hilton Grand Vacations Club at South Beach (#4865)    Thanksgiving 2008 - Can't wait for the only Gold Crown on South Beach, Miami.   Sea Villas ( #2628 )  June 2008 - Silver Crown on a quiet family beach in sunny Florida, 1960's style.   Plus I'll be trading my SA for a two-bedroom Gold Crown in Massanutten Ski Resort this coming January 2008. They want 60,500 points in RCI Points!   In June 2009 we have a two-bedroom Lake Condominiums at Big Sky Montana, (#0175). You recommended this one and we always have wanted to see Yellowstone Nat'l Park with the kids.   For August 2009 we have exchanged for two bedroom at Gatlinburg Town Square, (#2342), a little closer to home.   For 2010 we are saving and planning on Hawaii!   I'm having a great time getting over on the "system" all thanks to you Scott.    Update: Nov 04 -  Hawaii exchange successful - client has booked the Kona Coast II, 2 bedroom GC for July, 2010!   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | next > many, more at our websites...   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Trading Time Inc. will handle all closings.

Forget the fact that I see 1000's of actual exchanges each day and have helped 1000+ clients like you book 1000's of these exchanges on line over the last 10 years. These are my clients traveling so I get instant feedback of the resorts. Forget the fact that I give my clients a free deeded week for referring me 5 buyers. It is in my best interest as well as yours to help you to understand what you are doing and to make sure your purchase is a success. I have taught many old dogs new tricks. Many of the new clients already own a timeshare somewhere. I show them have to use all of their timeshare proficiently, thus reducing their overall vacation accommodation cost. My new clients do not have war stories of the bad one they bought. I have not stayed in business as long as I have unless I know something you do not. You got this far reading this long auction because you want to save money and stay in nice places. You should finish reading the auction, Visit our and the resorts websites; takes notes. Write down any questions or concerns you may have and give me a call. If you think you have a better deal, conversation with me will only confirm it. Right? Each day/night I helped new and old clients book the best dream vacation exchanges available. Come see what you might miss…                                                                      More Information?   Why Buy? The number one benefit, which we have heard for 27 years, is just simply that the timeshares have made our clients go on vacation. If they conducted a survey at the pool as to how much the other vacationers had paid for their timeshares and how much they are paying for maintenance, our clients discover they are the smartest ones there. We joke that we have your money, now you have to go. Start packing.   Condos vs. Hotels a) Size – for friends, family and yourselves. b) Savings from kitchen – this can be huge! c) Resort Amenities – All-inclusive options. d) Unit amenities – fireplace, washer dryer, great views. e) Resort Variety – with 3700 resorts to choose from, the choices may make you get out the box. It’s a big world out there. f) Deeded – Our properties are deeded. Something to pass on to your heirs. Make it the family tradition.   Why South Africa? a) Most of our clients purchase their timeshares to trade to RCI’s 3700 other resorts. European demand for South Africa creates a superior trading power for our clients when they trade. While all South Africa resorts do not trade the same, all are a bargain. b) Price. Our wholesale prices make South Africa a perfect entrance property to the RCI Weeks program. c) Low, stable yearly resort dues. South Africa resorts average less than half the averages timeshare. d) Our research on our Weeks resorts is extensive for your and our protection. e) South Africa weeks can convert to RCI Points. We became RCI Points resellers to bring our clients the best of both worlds. Now you see why South Africa is an easy choice.   Why Trading Time? a) Experience has taught us which weeks and resorts are best for exchanging. I would not want to help if I didn't know you had the best. b) We assist our clients with exchanges every day. I am certain we see 100+ opportunities each day. We know where the best resorts are and how and when to pick-up the best units. We have 100’s of traveling clients and fresh reports on the resorts. We share these with our group. c) We are proud in the fact that we advertise very little. Most of our business is referral based. Our success is based on your success. Through much trial and error we know which resort combination is best for you for the best price. Why gamble? d) We give each of our clients a FREE deeded timeshare when they have referred five buying clients. We make sure it works for you first. e) Our main goal is to guide each and every client, from profiling your travel habits, selling you the best timeshare(s) to fit those needs. We will be here to help you book the Resort Vacations of your dreams.                                                    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *   The most common, (unspoken), objective I would hear would be, "It sounds too good to be true". I will only tell you to raise the price until you are comfortable. You are purchasing today for tomorrow results. Below is some after the sale feedback from a few of our clients. I am firm believer in service after the sale….   Dear Scott,   Just like many of your other customers, we spent years listening to timeshare presentations from developers, only to become discouraged and disappointed.  Their memberships were too restrictive, their prices too high, and their maintenance fees were the equivalent of a week's stay at a fine hotel.  We were tired of rental mistakes and wanted the reliability of a dependable timeshare at a afford price with low resort dues. We thought it may not exist.     Until we discovered Trading Time...   It was a bit frightening to make such a large purchase over the internet, so we personally contacted you, Scott, to discuss our concerns.  We have never worked with anyone so helpful, so honest, so thorough, yet so distant, ever before.  Just like clock-work, everything you said would be processed for our transaction, was processed - accurately and timely.  Within 30 days, we were owners of our own RCI Points membership and our deeded property!   We weren't able to take any family vacations for years, while we financed our children's private high school and college educations.  But in March, using our Points for the first time, we booked a beautiful 8-person condo in Las Vegas and treated the entire family to a most memorable vacation.  It couldn't have been more successful!   Our adult children found out they can still enjoy family vacations - and Mom and Dad aren't so bad, after all.  We want to give them as many vacations as we can, trying Hawaii next and Europe after that.  We owe our renewed togetherness, our future, and our dreams to you, Scott, and Trading Time.  We can't thank you enough!   Best...always,   Maumee, Ohio Hi Scott,   I greatly appreciate your helping to make my vacation dreams come true!  You were very patient with me, as I initially asked many questions before I purchased, and you provided excellent direction to help me pick out the timeshare that best fit the needs of my family.  Since we first purchased our 2 bedroom/2 bath Trading Time South African timeshare in December 2003, we have stayed in Orlando (Grand Beach I #3664 – 3 bedroom/3 bath unit off Lake Bryan-Memorial Day Week 2004), Hilton Head (Waterside by Spinnaker #5366 – 2 bedroom/2 bath unit-Labor Day week 2005), Hilton Head (Egret Point by Spinnaker #4223 – 2 bedroom/2 bath unit – 7/29/06), Orlando (Summer Bay Resorts #3175 – 3 bedroom/3 bath unit-Memorial Day week 2007), and we’ve just booked Hilton Head (Coral Sands Resort #6736 – 3 bedroom/3 bath unit for July 2008).  I greatly appreciate all the information supplied on your website and the training on how to best utilize RCI’s system.  It has helped us immensely. I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to vacation with my family and my only annual expense is roughly $164 for the RCI exchange fee & my resort levies of approx. Purchasing my South African timeshare is one of the best moves our family has ever made and I greatly appreciate all of your help in making it possible.   God Bless!         – Charlotte, NC   Scott,   I just wanted to let you know that we took our first vacation using the points system that we purchased from you.  We were completely impressed with the location we chose as well as the help we received from RCI in suggesting it.  We are so happy that we purchased this from you.  Just wanted to let you know that you were a tremendous help in answering so many questions.  We are also so glad that we went with the points system as it will allow for much greater flexibility allowing us to choose to take shorter vacation time or even possibly longer.  Your service in this transaction was absolutely amazing and we can't thank-you enough.  If we ever decide to purchase more points it would definitely be through you.  Thanks again.    Hi Scott,  Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your quick and professional service.  Already being an RCI Weeks member for many years I had spent a fair bit of time researching RCI’s new points system. After checking many other time shares, I decided that the week in Texas that you were selling was a GREAT deal. The transaction went smooth and quickly!!  I felt so confident with the first purchase that I had absolutely no reservation in purchasing another week. Just like the first time. The transaction was effortless.    Scott, I only wish that every business was run like yours.   Thanks again   Oakville ON Canada Hi Scott,   I just wanted to thank you for helping us get started with our first timeshare. I did a significant amount of due diligence prior to making our purchase. I know that I found the right person to work with, and that buying at Rayburn was the right location. Despite all the research, you were able to fill in the gaps and help us with all of our questions. Being new to time share, we were a bit nervous at first to make the leap. Your patience and honesty made us feel comfortable, and the outcome could not have been better. You kept us informed at each step, and we completed our transaction with ease. Our points membership arrived quickly and we began planning our first trip right away. What fun! We booked ourselves into a fantastic resort in Puerto Vallarta, and we still have points left for other trips to come. This is an incredible value and the best thing we have done in years. Thanks!   Regards, Evergreen, CO   Dear Scott,    Thank you for introducing us to the South African timeshares, and for your kind and consistent help as we learn how to best utilize them. We consider you a good friend even though we have yet to meet.  We purchased two South Africa timeshares from you a couple of years ago. While skeptical at first because of the adage, “If it seems too good to be true than it is too good to be true.” Well, guess what! They traded better than you said. We have traded for Gold Crown resorts from California to South Carolina. We own a one bedrooms only but have been able to trade for two bedroom or more. We have had such success that we bought two more weeks for ourselves and gave one to each of our kids, (they think we are heroes!).We are not wealthy by any means, and this lets us stay at much nicer places than we would have otherwise. Our friends have seen how much fun we have even doing the planning, and some of them have now bought. I wish we would have owned one or two of these when the kids were at home. No family should be without one, as all families need to vacation together, and this will let them stay at great places for amazing little money. We have just returned from a Sept vacation at Meadow Lake Golf and Ski Resort in Montana and the condo was extra special. Thanks again.   Minnetonka, Minnesota    update:   Scott,     We just finished our 27th time share vacation, and next years trips are booked. They have been absolutely wonderful; far better than we ever expected! We have traded from Scotland to Hawaii and have not had a bad trade yet ( we talk about how fussy we now are - we have been spoiled rotten!) Thank you for getting us into this.     I like to attend the sales pitches many of the places offer. None of them come close - not even remotely close - to the deals you gave us. We stay in the best condos for prices that others cannot believe. Thanks for helping make our life an affordable but luxurious stream of vacations. If you need to convince anyone of this, have them call us. We'll set them straight!     Your grateful friends,   Dear Scott,  I just wanted to thank you for lining me up with the South Africa timeshare!!  In the six months since we purchased our two weeks we have gone to Orange  Lake Country Club in Orlando, booked a spring break week in Beaver Creek, Colorado at the Sheraton Mountain Vista, and booked another Orlando trip at the Sheraton Vistana. I have many friends who have purchased directly from timeshares resorts and all have paid anywhere from six to ten times as much!! The most amazing thing is our yearly dues are a third of what most people pay. After going to Orange Lake Country Club this last summer I figured I already made my investment back. I also appreciate your help in teaching me the "ropes" of trading. It's not hard at all!! Thanks again for eliminating my future lodging costs. My family and I will be able to see more and better destinations because of your help. Thanks, Dr. update Scott,   I think it has been about 5 years now that we have owned our timeshare in South Africa.  We have thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful trips with the trades that we have made.  To date, we have traded to Orlando three times, Beaver Creek, Myrtle Beach, South Padre Island, Phoenix, Maine, and Sedona numerous times. Most of these have been in Gold crown resorts as well!   Not only have we enjoyed our trips but our friends and family have too. Thank you again for all the help with our vacations!    Dr. Dear Scott, The amazement continues! As you know, Sue and I own 5 timeshares thru you as well as our timeshare in Captiva, Fl purchased before we knew you and the concept of trading South African timeshares. As an aside, we paid less for the 5 than the 1 in Captiva.Over this past New Years, we took the family, all 9 of us, to Cozumel, Mexico where we stayed at the El Cid, a Royal Crown resort. We were able to obtain 3 one bedrooms thru the RCI exchange program ( pretty good when you consider RCI has only 22 rooms at the resort ). We needed a fourth room and we had to pay the regular hotel rate. Believe it or not, the amount we paid the resort for the week cost the same, if not less, as purchasing a timeshare! What was even more amazing to us was the fact that the hotel unit did not hold a candle to the timeshare units.Although Club Regina, in Puerto Vallarta, was more plush, we really enjoyed our stay at El Cid. The rooms were a good size, well decorated,  and with terraces directly overlooking and literally a few feet from the beach .The friendly staff and the service provided was excellent. Although the resort was fully occupied, the facilities were not at all crowded- just as we like it.We are already looking forward to our next vacation which is scheduled for this March where will be going to the Pueblo Bonito resort in Matzalan. I’m currently conducting other searches for various dates for next year. In fact, I just accepted a match to the Sapphire Club in St Maarten. I do not want to jinx myself, but to date, I’ve been 100% successful trading into all my matches, all Royal Crown resorts. Trading and working the RCI system is a lot of fun. I can’t wait until I also have access to trading in RCI points ( I am just awaiting my membership number go-ahead ).I know I’m being redundant from my previous conversations with you, but I’ll say it again-the concept of buying and utilizing a Trading Time South African timeshare is incredible! I keep recommending it to others, but some folks just do not get it and remain apprehensive. They do not know what they are missing! Others I have referred that have purchased it love it and are referring others. In fact, my brother and his family recently returned from a trip to Cabo St Lucas where he had 2 rooms thru RCI at the Hacienda del Mar. He was ecstatic-they had a great time and fell in love with the facility.Scott, anytime you need a recommendation, please call me. Your service has been, as always, wonderful. I hope to be in touch with you soon. With best regards,   Dear Scott, I just wanted to say thank you for setting me up with South Africa timeshare. As you know I had already bought one week at Orange Lake Country Club for over $17K and after thinking about it, I found your ad and called you. You had enlightened me, I was able to get out of the deal and wound up buying 3 weeks from you for about a third of the price of the one at Orange Lake. Skeptical at first with what you were telling me was to good to be true I did my research. Everything checked out great and even verified it with RCI. Even the maintenance dues were incredible inexpensive. Your insight and many years in the business has now made me a Trading Expert. Since the purchase over a year ago I only stay at Gold Crown Resorts. I have been able to trade into, Sheraton's Vistana Villages Orlando, Cypress Pointe Resort Lake Buena Vista, The Summit at Massanutten, Va, "only the best" and it is so easy. The resorts were fabulous even more so because of the low price I paid. While on a visit at one of the resorts the sales staff put on the "pressure sales" trying to get me to buy, well after they laid there cards on the table I put down mine. It was great to see a salesman say "I can beat that, thanks for visiting our resort and walk away without a sale". Since I now own so many weeks I can give some away to my family members. "You're the Best" Keep up the great work and please feel free to use me as a reference anytime.   Regards, Scott- I had been shopping for a timeshare for years.  From high-pressure sales at resorts to confusing secondary markets, nothing seemed quite right.  I did alot of research, and your product was by far the best value. I bought a great timeshare for you for less than a third of what resorts charge, and maintanance fees less than half of the average!  I was a little hesitant to spend so much money over the internet, but your company has a great reputation, and now I see why!  In less than a month, I have my deed in hand and my points account is up and running on RCI!  You made the entire process incredibly easy-thank you! You are an outstanding, honest businessman, and a valuable asset to the timeshare community.  I would be happy to be a reference for any prospective clients of yours. Thank you,   Enid, OK Scott,   I am writing to thank you for your help in getting me started in the point system and securing wonderful vacations for our children.   You are in no way what typical sales people have become today.   I mean that in the most positive manner and is the reason we are returning customers in less than a month.  You have taken your time to explain any question and send me in the right direction when most people try to pass you on or "return your call at their earliest convenience".   You are real and seem to be a natural in customer service.   Your years of knowledge in the business has made it so easy for me with all your examples, explanations, and advise.  I have enjoyed talking with you and look forward to meeting you and your family in the future.  Thank you again for everything.  Your eagerness to help those of us who don't understand instead of taking advantage is a rare trait that will shine at those "pearly gates".    Tampa Bay ,  FL   You were right about the free 5000 pts if you made an exchange in the first 30 days. How many times am  I going to have to say thank you.  They said they will show up in my account in about a week. We booked the Orange Lake Country Club! The resort is a 1 in 3yr, so it must be good.  My niece and nephew are so excited, they can hardly wait.  We are all coordinating what days the kids and missing school since the vpk program follows regular school absentee policies.  Of course we are going to have to check in late so my hubby can watch Dallas play on Sunday with the NFL Sunday ticket.  Such dedication.  We also booked the Tree Tops Resort, November 6-10th and found out that winter fest starts on the 8th. All the Christmas lights will be going strong for those last two nights.  What timing.  The kids are going to have quite the experiences this year.  White beaches in the pan handle at my moms , fun, fun and more fun in Orlando, and maybe white mountains with colorful décor in TN. Thanks again.   Dear Scott, Thank you for all of your recommendations for trades over the past 3 years. When you were recommended to me by a friend to buy a time share in South Africa and just use it to trade the whole idea made me skeptical. Now that I have experienced the trading concept and with your recommendations as to where to stay, my wife and I have been very pleased and more than satisfied with the places where we have vacationed. Our first was on the island of Kauai at Pahio (Bali Hai Villas). Second was Orlando, Florida, with the entire (14 of us) family at the Sheraton Vistana Resort where we had 3 condos. The third one was my wife’s reunion with her 4 sisters in Las Vegas at the Summer Bay Resort. We have just returned from Nuevo Vallarta where we stayed at the Grand Mayan, again on your recommendation, and had a wonderful time with my brother, his wife, my sister and her husband. We meet a old friend of yours, Mike Matthews at the Grand Mayan. Also, Steve and Barbara from East Brunswick say Hi, we were talking with them on the beach, they agree with us....you’re the greatest. You have made our vacations very memorable and future ones something special to look forward to. This would not be possible if it were not for your knowledge as to where to stay and where to go. Margie and I sincerely appreciate the attention you give us when planning our trips and look forward to many more in the future. Thanks again                       , Sayreville, NJ P.S.  Attached are a few pictures from our trips, Al & I actually realized we like each other J Al and I sincerely appreciate what you do for us and your recommendations.  We're looking forward to Florida in May. See the Mayer Photo Journey on the website! Dear Scott Happy New Year to you and your family.Well, you were absolutely correct about our timeshare. Larry and I had the most perfect vacation in St. Maarten. We stayed in a 1 bedroom at the Pelican Bay Resort and it was fantastic. The staff, the condo, the amenities, etc were all impeccable. I have already put in a search for this year for the same week (#52). RCI told me that they will probably be calling me to confirm sometime next month. They went on to tell me that the property that I own (S. Africa) has wonderful trading ability. They said that some other properties are rated at 30% and mine is rated at 85%. I know that is good, although I am not sure how they do the rating, but that really doesn't matter.I just want to thank you for helping me along the way and for calming my fears each time I called you. You certainly know your "stuff".My friends, Jackie and Elliot, bought a timeshare through you. They were in St. Marten with us for part of our vacation and they are very excited about the prospect of trading their new purchase. I will continue to recommend people (now more than ever) and hopefully I will get to the magic number of 5 (or even more).  Thank you again for everything and I look forward to hearing from you. ST Maarteen Christmas- 2004, Grand Caymans- Christmas -2005 Dear Scott, Larry and I hope that you and your family had a very happy Easter. We just returned from the Mayan Palace in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, where we vacationed with the Schlesinger's and another couple. They are Mark and Sharon Press and they said that they would be calling you for information about buying a time share. Please make sure that if they do purchase a time share, it goes to our credit. We had a wonderful vacation. The place is absolutely paradise. The only draw back that we found was the location. To get into the main part of town you must take a taxi which costs about $20.00 US each way. Since there aren't many restaurants in the area of Nuevo Vallarta it is necessary to go into town or to Marina Vallarta, which costs about $10.00 US each way. All in all we loved the vacation. The weather was perfect, as was the golf for Larry, Bob and Mark. The hotel is unbelievable. The staff was so friendly, helpful and always smiling. In spite of the location, I would recommend this. Oh by the way, we met some other clients of yours. Their names were Stan & Myra and they live in East Hampton LI. They were traveling with their daughter and son in law, who also own a time share with you. I don't know their last name, but they are Ken and Stacy and live in Melville, LI. They raved about you and the time share. Have a wonderful holiday.   Update   Hi Scott, Just a quick note to tell you how happy Larry and I are with our timeshare in South Africa. Having just returned from the Pelican Club in St. Martin (for the second time), we know that we have bought the best lifetime vacation that one could ever imagine. We have more than made up our initial cost, which wasn't that large to begin with. Your expertise and continued patience in helping me through the trading process, is so appreciated. I will never forget my initial trade when you walked me through the process and continued to assure me that I will not be sleeping on a beach in the caribbean, but at a timeshare. How right you were, and continue to be! I will continue to recommend you to my friends and acquaintances. Happy New Year to you and Sandra and again, thank you for all of your help. Sincerely   The stranger at the resort did it!   Dear Scott, How wonderful it was to hear from you last night with the good news that my five recommendations have all purchased timeshares and that Larry and I have now received a free week. Every recommendation to purchase a timeshare through you,  was done without any reservation (pardon the play on words) and was with complete belief in everything that you represent. I have no qualms at all in telling people how wonderful your services are.  I am sure that everyone who bought a timeshare from you will be as happy as Larry and I are.  I know some people who have paid much more money for timeshares which they purchased  through other "vendors" and they do not get the trading expertise that I get from you and that I value so much.  Your knowledge and patience in guiding me through the trading process, has been and continues to be invaluable. Why anyone would pay the price of a hotel room on a vacation, instead of having a timeshare, is beyond belief. I can no longer compromise the amenities that I receive when I vacation at a timeshare, be it a studio or one bedroom, as opposed to a hotel room. It's so nice to "kick back" after a day at the beach or touring, in a condo setup instead of a "bedroom". I will continue to recommend you to my friends and other people with whom I might cross paths. Your service and knowledge is impeccable and once again, Larry and I wish to thank you for all that you are. Thanks again for the wonderful surprise of the free time share. My bags are packed and I'm ready to go! Sincerely, Dear Scott,Thanks so much for all your help and setting us up with the South. African timeshare property.  It has worked so well for us that we've traded our 2 weeks into Wales, Scotland (an incredible 2BR Crown property), Grand Cayman, Italy (again a 2BR) Puerta Vallarta, and Costa  Rica. And, we're just starting our 3rd year!I really appreciate your positive customer service - always willing to help.  Thanks again for helping us to get involved.Regards,- Denver, Co   Dear Scott;   We couldn't be happier with our 3 South African time shares we purchased from you. Here is a list of some of the fabulous vacations we have taken so far.  We've been to St. Marteen 3 times and have 2 more trips coming up all in beautiful resorts. The Dominican Republic was a fantastic all inclusive resort. Switzerland was charming. Cabos in Mexico with deep sea fishing was great. We are now looking forward to our trip to Mexico at the Mayan Palace this March. Our friends can't thank us enough for recommending you to them.               Sincerely   Hi Scott,   My daughter and her family just returned from a week at the Summit in the mountains of Virginia and she used one of my timeshare weeks.  They loved the resort.  It had so much for her family to do.  She also thought the condo itself was very luxurious.  She wanted me to thank you for steering us to the Summit and I thank you for this week and all the other help you have given us.  We had such positive experiences with our Hilton Head and Cancun trades, we are now looking forward to going to Williamsburg in September and Lake Tahoe next June.   We really appreciate all the help you continue to give us and look forward to many more wonderful trades.  Dear Scott & Sandra,    I wanted to share with you a few of our recent trades for our South Africa timeshares.  Last June, my wife and I traded our time share for a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 1,500 square foot villa on the grounds of a castle in Scotland.  According to them, it was the ancestral home of Robert The Bruce, the first King of Scotland.  The unit was amazing. It was actually a single family home on the grounds of the castle.  The location was great for golfers...7 miles from St. Andrews.  We aren't golfers, but the sightseeing in Scotland was incredible.  We drove all over the country as well as throughout England. We spent 6 days in Scotland and 5 days in England. The four nights that we spent in England, 2 at bed and breakfasts and 2 at a hotel, cost about 3 times what the week at the timeshare cost.  What a bargain it was.  I would highly recommend a trip like we took to anyone that likes to travel.  I've attached a few pictures that I took while we were there.  The first is of Stonehenge, the second is the view over Edinburgh from Edinburgh Castle and the third is of Big Ben & Parliament, taken from the London Eye, a 150 meter high ferris wheel in London.  I still look at the pictures and can't believe that we made that trip.   5 weeks later, we took our kids to Utah & Las Vegas.  In Utah, we went to Bryce Canyon and Zion National parks, as well as making the drive down to Arizona to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It never ceases to amaze me when I look at the natural beauty this world has to offer.  Again, I would recommend that everyone go see these amazing parks.  The scenery was magnificent.  I've attached a few pictures from this trip as well. The first is from Bryce, the second is from Zion and the third is from the Grand Canyon.  This now brings to 5 the number of times we've traded our timeshares.  We've now been to Spain, Mexico, Scotland, Utah & Las Vegas.  We currently have searches on for Ireland and Italy.  I have to say, that the timeshares that we bought were probably the best purchases I've ever made.  I can say without question, that had we not bought them, we would not have taken the trips that we did.  Thanks again for all of your help, and I look forward to telling you about our next vacation.   Take care,                       and the Family   Great Family Photo Journey on the website Dear Scott,  I would just like to take the time to tell you what a wonderful purchase this has been for me.  When I first purchased a time share in South Africa I thought I was out of my mind.  But the price was such that I had to take a chance.  I had no intention of ever going to South Africa.  I only wanted to ski and play golf and not in that order.  It has been three years now and I have gone to Hilton Head, Kauai, Colorado, and this year I am again planning to go to Kauai in January, Dillion, Colorado in February, the World Golf Village in St Augustine in March, Hilton Head in October. and Palm Springs in November.  This has been wonderful for my wife and I and sometimes family and friends to get away.  Only in St Augustine did I trade for only a one bedroom.  In all other cases I was able to get a two bedroom or more and invite my best friend and his wife and in other cases my grown kids. My friend has purchased a timeshare in the same place where we stayed last time in Kauai, Hawaii and paid $22,000 and has maintenance fees of over $900 per year and we went there for the cost of the timeshare in Africa.  As you know I was so excited about these that I have purchased on for each of my three kids and gave them for Christmas presents.  They are overjoyed!!!  The only downside is that you have to plan ahead.  To me that was never a problem but this would not work for the last minute traveler.  There are even other ways to save on golf.  If you ever take up the game give me a call.   Thanks again.  This has been a dream that I should have gotten into a long time ago.   Thanks again, Dear Scott, Ok so you were right!! You know I was hesitant about these timeshares however, I thought I would have nothing to lose so I took a shot. It's totally unbelievable to me that my husband and I can travel for weeks at a time at such a low cost. Even though I work in the travel industry and get pretty good discounts, it still was so worthwhile to invest in South Africa. We just returned from Puerto Vallarta in January and had a fabulous time. We are now scheduled for Turks and Caicos in October and we can't wait! You have been such a help to me in learning how to trade our properties. It is so easy. I don't know how I could have let this intimidate me in the beginning.   My husband is planning a golf outing next and I will be probably sending my sister and her future husband on their honeymoon. She is going to be so surprised.  I just wanted to say thanks for all your help and patience! Speak with you soon. Regards update   Hi Scott –   John and I thought we would give you our annual update!  We are so thankful that we met you and purchased our South African timeshares. They have more than paid for themselves with all the travel we have done.  The Alexandra Resort in Turks and Caicos was unbelievable. We brought along another couple, who of course once they settle in their new home, want to speak to you about a purchase. We were able to secure adjoining rooms for both of us, overlooking the ocean. It was the most beautiful water we have ever seen and you know, we travel alot. Next on the list is St. Maarten in September.  The purchase of our timeshares has given us the opportunity to travel every six months and more.  Thank you so much for always being there to answer questions and offer assistance.  Speak with you soon,  1998   Dear Scott, We wanted to let you know how happy we've been with our So. Africa weeks. We have traded for several great places on the Oregon coast, Reno, Las Vegas, and Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  In fact we sold our weeks at Pueblo Bonito in Mazatlan, because: l) when we trade So. Africa time there, we usually get a bigger room than when we owned there.2) when we were unable to trade our Pueblo Bonito time (a Gold Crown resort)  for Cabo, there was no problem trading the So. Africa time.3) even after the RCI exchange, we pay about 2/3 price at our old resort (P. B.) maintenance fees.4) the initial cost per week was 1/7 the cost of Pueblo Bonito.5) we've never been unable to trade into an area we were interested in.As you know, we have recommended So. Africa (and you, especially) to many people and will continue to do so.   As you know, we have recommended So. Africa (and you, especially) to many people and will continue to do so.                                             Thanks, Scott!                                                                                                                                              Portland, Oregon letter from SA: Hi Scott,     This is our fifth week in So. Africa.  Umdloti and Umhlanga Rocks were terrific.  Right on the Indian Ocean, so we didn't get out and about like we should have.  Did get in to Durban a few days, to the BAT Centre for jazz, to the Victoria (Indian) Market, Joe Cools ("the worst restaurant in the world.)  Wasn't bad!   We have been here at DIkhololo at here for 2 1/2 weeks now- many animals and birds right at our door and in the bushveld.  10 different antelope, zebra, gnu, giraffes all close enough to touch.  We've driven around the resort area and 3 times in the bush, and once on a guided trip.  Very nice.  They've added TVs to each room, which is nice.  The electricity was out one day, for major repairs.  We have our own patio with braii and they clean it every day, in addition to cleaning our rooms.  We have one bedroom with loft- sleeps four.  Have 4 weeks scheduled here, but think we'll leave a week early so we can see a bit of Pretoria and Joburg.  (Took Greyhound from  Durban, taking the train to Cape Town).     Thanks so much for selling us South Africa.  Without that incentive, we would never have had the experience of visiting So. Africa.  In our 65-68 yrs. we've never been out of No. America, visiting only Mexico and Canada.  Our purchase with you broadened our horizons.  Now plan to travel to Europe, Greece, Australia, etc.    Thank you again,   2005   Hi Scott,  Just wanted to let you know Bob died March 29th.  He had 1 year from the time of diagnosis of esophageal cancer.  His wish was to travel as much as he was up to, so after our 2 months in So. Africa (a trip of a lifetime!), this year we spent 2 wks. in Sun Valley, ID, a wk. on Alaskan cruise, a wk in Las Vegas, a month on the Washington coast, a month in Mazatlan -just before he died, actually.  He was very weak, but did really well.  He had such a great attitude and sense of humor throughout the year- even his drs. were very impressed.  I thank you for all the good trips/exchanges we made with our 9 weeks of South Africa!!  I will keep in touch.   Yours, Hello ,  We were in Colorado when I heard. I am sorry for Bob s passing. I considered him a fried and enjoyed our talks. It pleases me that you got some much from your SA weeks. I hope it has given you comfort and many memories. Your testimonials and Bob’s picture with the giraffe will live on to tell the story at our website, click > (South Africa Photo Journey Posted on website). I am tempted to post this e-mail to encourage everybody to enjoy life now. Let me know if you think that is a good idea. Let me know what I can do for you as I appreciate the support you have given me over the years.  Much Regards, Scott -------------------------------------------  Hi Scott,  Thanks for your "note."  I think it'd be fine to post this e-mail, and yes, that is my new e address. I LOVED the testimonial/pictures of SA!  I really do appreciate what you've "given" us.  Thanks so much!  Glad you're getting some traveling in too.  I will be in touch…   Dear Scott - We would like to thank you for introducing us to thebenefits of owning timeshare in South Africanprojects.  We have enjoyed two wonderful vacations sofar and are currently planning our third.  Our firsttwo trips were to two different Gold Crown projectslocated on the beach in Carlsbad, California. Ourfamily enjoyed wonderful weather, time at the beach,Sea World, Lego Land and many of the other attractionsin the San Diego area. While neither of these trips was available during hightourist season in San Diego (June - August), wechecked for the lowest weekly rate in each projectduring the time of our stays (October - November). Wewould have had to pay at least $200 per night for eachtwo-bedroom, ocean view room without our South Africatimeshare exchange.  With just these two trips, wehave recouped the entire cost of our timesharepurchase plus our first two years of maintenance fees. Our accommodations cost for annual trips goingforward will now be only our low South Africamaintenance fee. Thank you for showing us the many benefits of owningtimeshare in South Africa and for your expertise inmanaging the trading process with RCI. The           Family  Scott, Just wanted to tell you what I wonderful time we had in Eilat using our timeshare. The location was perfect and the ammenties were great. Several large pools, gym, spa, beauty salon and small supermarket were all on the premise. We also had a wonderful Shabbat dinner as well as a Purim service.   We are very much looking forward to our next trip which is in Jan. at the Hacienda del Mar in Cabos.   Booking early is the only way to do this. Thanks again for making all this possible.    To Whom It May Concern:   Scott Riddle is an easy, honest person to work with. I bought 8 South African timeshare units from him November 11, 2001. My family of 6 went to the Big Island of Hawaii and stayed at The Bay Club at Waikoloa Beach Resort for a week and then moved to the other side of the island for scuba lessons and stayed at The Kona Coast Resort. We then went to Kauai where we stayed one week at the Embassy Vacation Resort Poipu Point and one week at PAHIO at Ka'Eo Kai. All these resorts are gold crown and we traded into all two-bedroom units. We were in Hawaii for the Christmas and New Year's. We have since gotten the Manhattan Club in New York City, the Powell Place City/Share in San Francisco, The Capri by the Sea in San Diego, The Imperial in Honolulu, the San Luis Condominiums in Galveston, a week in Cancun, a week in Puerto Vallarta, a week in Orlando (a 3 bedroom), 2 units in Mazatlan, a week in Phoenix, etc. We love to travel and Scott was wonderful in helping me understand how to use the RCI system. I refer anyone interested in timeshares to him. We have never met face to face, but he has proven to be a valuable resource. RCI seems overwhelming at first, but Scott will walk you through the learning process. I only wish that we had purchased years earlier. Good luck and many happy travels.   Lake Oswego, Oregon Business Owner and 8 Unit Timeshare Owner  Dear Scott: Your recent recommendations for our two week stay in Cabo San Lucas were just great. Each of the two properties was beautiful and certainly well chosen. We have you to thank you for this grand beach vacation.From the inception of our timeshare relationship you have been most professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with.Our continued Thanks for all your help. We continue to recommend you to anyone who mentions  timeshare. We keep saying that no one is better to deal with than you. Best wishes for a Happy Holiday Season    Sincerely:   P.S. We just now exchanged our South Africa weeks for back to back, two bedrooms units at the Mayan Palace Nuevo Vallarta for 2004. We are excited!   update...........   Dear Scott Riddle:    We will forever be saying "THANK YOU” for your guidance and professional know how in securing our wonderful vacations over the past two years.  We have been to luxurious properties in Puerto Vallarta (twice), Cabo San Lucas, Mexico as well as St. Maarten,- each resort and property was just gorgeous and wonderful on all levels. The purchase of our two weeks timeshare in South Africa has in retrospect, truly worked out to be a non brainer, in that the investment has been so NOMINAL for so great an enjoyable RETURN. We continue to appreciate your patience and help each time we call upon you. You make each experience a pleasure.   Best wishes to you, Sandra and your family for a HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON.   Sincerely, Scott Although we have never met in person, I'm writing to thank you for your help in buying the Rayburn Country Club timeshare (RCI points). I was a little reluctant in buying a timeshare from someone who I had only communicated with on phone and e-mails. I did a lot of research on the web, including the TUG where the members recommended you. I can say with confidence that you gave us a very good deal. I have always found you to be helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. What I like most about you is that you are true to your word - you always followed up when you said you would (even if it was to answer a simple question) and we received the paperwork within two weeks! It is also nice when a seller answers your question after the sale! I will not hesitate to recommend you to another buyer. Thanks again for your help. I look forward to meeting you in person soon! , AB, Canada Dear Scott:  Jane and I have been retired for a little over a year.  We have been RCI Weeks members for a number of years.  We have used our ‘week’ in a number of places; however, I heard about the ‘Points’ program and was interested.  I did some research and came across your web site.  I think I read the entire site completely.  Your info was priceless in leading to a decision.  Then I took the opportunity to call and speak with you.  Your helpfulness, knowledge, guidance and willingness to take the time to talk to me about, not only Rayburn County, but the program as a whole was the clincher.  We purchased a unit from you and you got us enrolled in the Points Program without any delay, problems or grief.  We have attended several ‘timeshare presentations’ in the past and will never again subject ourselves to the high-pressure tactics of those sales guys again.  Thanks again and we look forward to visiting Rayburn County in the near future and meeting you and Sandra in person.  We will definitely spread the word about your helpfulness and knowledge!    Young Harris, GA  Thumbs up We just got our points account. We have been an RCI Weeks member for over 2 years and have done about 15 trades with RCI. In general we have been satisfied with our trades and membership as we are flexible and prefer to travel in the side seasons with more availability and less crowds. We have been reading about points and have decided to try it. We bought a Rayburn week from Scott Riddle at Trading Time. We have read about many people complaining about how long the processing of deeds and getting on to RCI Points takes. We started dealing with Scott the evening of 11/22/05. He e-mailed us a one page contract which we faxed back to him in the morning with a copy of our check. Our deed was recorded on the 30th of Nov. and we had it in our hand on Dec. 5th. We received an e-mail from Scott early this morning with our points account number and now we are online with RCI Points all in less than 3 weeks. I am impressed and amazed at his timeliness especially in today's times of little customer service. We are looking forward to using our points account in conjunction with our weeks account for more trades in the future. Scott, When my wife and I started looking at getting back into timeshares we had several reservations about dealing with someone online.  We had been to a couple of onsite presentations and couldn't justify the prices they were asking, especially for the lower number of points they were offering, so if we were going to do it we would be doing it online. We ran across your offers and decided to see where it would lead and follow it until we felt uncomfortable, we never did.  You explained each step of the process, offered 3rd party names and phone numbers to verify what you were telling us- basically everything anyone would need to help them make a decision to proceed or not. Everything you told us would happen did happen just the way you explained it and when you said it would. The process was amazingly uncomplicated once we got started. You answered all our questions, and there were many, completely and honestly.  It was a real pleasure to do business with you, the product you offer is the product you get, no pressure whatsoever, excellent communications, and prompt service.  If anyone needs reassurance about dealing with you just tell them to get in touch with me. Thank you again for getting us back into timeshares, who knows, as time goes on and we have more and more free time we may be a repeat customer.    Georgetown, Texas Scott,   Just wanted you to know I really appreciated how you handled our recent purchase. You walked me through all the intricacies of the RCI points system, found me a property that was priced very fairly (and in the range I was looking to spend) and even volunteered some good advice about making sure RCI credited me for the extra years of weeks membership I purchased (they did!). You also gave me helpful ideas about trading strategies. I feel as if I could call you anytime with any question -- big or small -- and you'd be there for me.   Once again, thanks.   Scott,   How could I possibly thank you enough?  You spoke with me for too many hours to even count them.  I can't thank you enough for the advice you gave me even when I wasn't even a potential client. You helped me get out of a bad situation from some swindlers and never asked for a penny or a thank you. Our process of understanding RCI points from you couldn't have been more thorough. You told it like it was and didn't try to entice me with lies or deceptions. When we did decide to buy with you the process was smooth and flawless, my husband was amazed how easily you arranged all of the details. We just can't wait to begin our time as an RCI member and remain your clients, knowing that you have so much great insight to share.  Thank you, Thank you for your time and dedication to our future.   Drs            and   Trading TimeAttn: Scott Riddle Dear Scott,I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your help in the purchase of my unit at Rayburn County.  As you know, I am presently an RCI Points Member and was looking to purchase another unit for an affordable price as well as low maintenance fees. I didn't know what to expect at first since this was a purchase I would have originally preferred to handle face to face. I did my due diligence by emailing your previous customers to get an idea if you were on the "up and up". Even though all the feedback was very positive, I was still apprehensive about the transaction. Once I spoke with you on the phone I felt much better and confident. The transaction went smoothly and the entire process only took 4 1/2 weeks! As an RCI Points Member, the purchase of this timeshare allowed me to add additional points at a low cost. Instead of settling for one vacation a year I am now able to take two or decided whether to book a two bedroom instead of a one bedroom. Also, thank you for resort suggestions in Southern California. I lookforward to doing business again in the future. Thanks again,   ** recently purchased second Points week :-)  To prospective customers, my experience with Trading Time was completely satisfactory.  Communications were clear – all provisions were exactly as described.  Timeshare transactions have been some of my most unpleasant experiences – but this was completely pleasant.  You will be delivered what you’re promised and supported if you need it with information and status reports.   Colonial Beach, VA  Thank you, Scott, for the great deal I got from you in the purchase of my first Points time share and for the time you have spent with me taking care of some problems I had trying to make a trade and depositing points.  I appreciate you going the extra mile to educate me in trading time shares.  Being a novice I have much to learn and understand about the world of time shares and you have given me a much clearer picture.  In the world of time shares it is nice to find an honest, helpful person in which to do business with.   Thanks again,   Hi Scott,   Before I came across Rayburn County’s RCI points program, I had researched nearly all the timeshare options available for resale.  I was honestly shocked by the value delivered by this resort => maintenance fees at 1/3 what you would pay for the same points anywhere else.  I really thought it was too good to be true, but I figured I could at least invest a phone call to dig up some of the details.  After several long discussions with you, I came to realize that this resort really was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again for all your help and insight, it really was a pleasure doing business with you.   Best Regards,   Dallas, TX   Dear Scott,   We just returned from the Mayan Palace in Puerto Vallarta with 11 of our dear friends.  We had a super time, without Scott’s advise we would not have known about this fabulous resort.  Not only is  our time share a fantastic bargain with Scott,  we have the expert help with his recommendations and help with  trading our weeks.  Our friends with time shares that cost  far more than ours with no more trading ability cannot believe the service and bargains we have gotten with Scott. One of our friends has purchased three weeks with Scott and is trying to sell his expensive time share in Las Vegas.  They too have been very happy with their purchase. We think that this time share purchase has been one of the best investments we have made. In addition we have the personal service of Scott, a super bonus, my friends are envious. None of them can call someone like Scott and get the help and advise he gives.  We have traded our properties to eight  properties , sometimes giving them to our employees.  We have never been disappointed.  Are we happy with our three week time share purchases with Scott?” You bet!   Bismarck, ND Dear Scott and Sandra;   The entire Stern family want to thank you for getting us into time shares.  Our original purchase was three years ago and in the first year we bought two more. You are so patient about working with your clients and teaching us how to use RCI to get our trades. We have the three weeks in South Africa and have never been to South Africa.    The trips that we have taken are Caymen Islands, New Orleans, Florida, British Columbia, Disney Land, Hawaii, Cabo San Lucas (twice) , Glacier National Park and we already have reservations for 2005 and 06.  We cannot believe the great accommodations---They have been five star and Gold Crown.  Some of the places were over $300 a night.   In July we stayed in Pagosa Srings Colo. at a Fairfield  resort. Ironically it is he same place that my brother bought for $8000 and has $650 yearly dues. He was decidedly upset when he found how much we paid and what our dues are.   You have been in the time share business close to twenty four years and know your business. I am impressed how you research each resort before you purchase.  You and Sandra have stayed at many places and can relate this to your clients. You conduct business in a professional manner  ---never forgetting that long term relationships are nurtured by being honest, courteous and knowledgeable. Thanks again for introducing us to the Time Share business.   You both are the greatest.   Don and Sally Dear Scott, We love being asked the location of our timeshare and seeing the look on people's faces when we tell them it's in Africa. First comes a look of disbelief, and then they begin to ask the questions....how much did your timeshare cost, what's your maintenance fee, can you make good trades, how did you discover this timeshare resource, etc? Most have the same initial reaction that we did....this is too good to be true!!! We assure them that it's all true and that it's one of the best decisions we ever made. We've been to Lake Tahoe, Cancun (twice), Florida (twice), and will be in Scottsdale, Arizona this April. We used the RCI travel service to book our Hawaiian cruise and are about to book another cruise to Alaska. All our accommodations have been exceptional...spacious, convenient to local attractions, immaculate, and friendly. We definitely plan to speak with Scott regarding purchasing additional timeshares so that our family can join us on vacation.. Sincerely,  Hi Scott & Sandra,    I just want to share that I am very excited about my timeshare. It's a fabulous deal. I truly have hit the jackpot. So far I've traded only twice, I've been to the Dominican Republic both times. First time I stayed at the Playa Naco golf resort and the second time I stayed time at the Paradise beach club & casino. I had a fabulous time on both Occasions. It's truly a lovely place. When I recently stayed at the Paradise Beach club I was asked to listen to a 30 minute lecture about the resort and that I would eventually receive free gifts. I had a feeling that they were going to try to sell me a timeshare. Well, that 30 min. lecture turned into a mere 10 minutes. The spokesperson was a rep. from RCI and he realized from my ID badge that I was an RCI member already. He asked me if I were interested in buying another week, I told him yes, but not here. He inquired as to where my timeshare was, what I paid and, what type of week I have. When he found out what I paid especially in comparison to what they are offering (the timeshares there are starting at $10,000)........ he begged me not tell anyone else at the resort. I laughed, and at that moment I really knew that I had hit the jackpot. When I arrived back in the states, I immediately called Scott to share the story with him. Scott thanks again for such a great deal !!!!!!   I hope others will share in the light. A Very Happy Member, Dear ScottAlthough at times I think we speak different languages, when I get those confirmations from RCI I know we're were on the same track.  I want to thank -you in advance for the score of Nuevo Vallarta February week. We have our plane tickets and are looking forward to our stay at the Mayan Palace there.  What is even more unbelievable is that we are confirmed at the sister hotel Christmas week 03, in Puerto Vallarta.  You have been wonderful to work with and I look forward to buying a third week in South Africa in the near future. December 2000 Dear Scott:It is now about nine months since I purchased my three weeks of timeshare in South Africa.  When I first heard about these timeshares, I honestly thought that it was not real.  Well...  I'm happy to say that not only is it real, but it works beautifully.  Thus far, my wife and I have traded a week (Christmas Week) at Vacation Village in Westin, Florida and this August we are booked into Whistler in Canada for one week.With your help, my wife is becoming an expert in "Trading" our timeshares through RCI.  I want to thank you for your past and on-going help.  Everything that you have told about these timeshares is true.  You are a big asset to us.                                                     Sincerely,                                                                                                                                                                                      CPA    P.S.  My friend who I have recommended to you are as thrilled as we are with your honesty and your help.  We just want to thank you for helping us secure one of our best investments in a long time!!! Every time I hear "You bought a timeshare where? I just snicker and say "South Africa."We went to Maine last summer, and we have already booked in 2003 Cancun in March and Kauai in June. In 2004 we are going to Yellowstone National Park. We just have have to keep up with the planning!!!!!  I was able to use your website to help me with my online trading. It was much easier to do it myself. RCI was helpful, but I know where I want to go. We were able to learn of some of the other resorts as we talked to others around the pool and even in the laundry!!!! The husband had on a Kauai shirt and I asked them for pointers for our trade in Hawaii. Great conversations!!!We hope to continue this relationship with you to purchase more weeks for a long time!!! Thanks again!!  Scott Although we have never met in person, I'm writing to thank you for your help in buying the Rayburn Country Club timeshare (RCI points). I was a little reluctant in buying a timeshare from someone who I had only communicated with on phone and e-mails.

I look forward to meeting you in person soon!                                                     , AB, Canada Dear Scott, Nancy and I are finishing up our yearly month away, here in Sarasota. We are very pleased that we bought our timeshare with you and want to thank you for all the help you have given us. Our trade for Bermuda over New Years was just the way to spend a great holiday. The weather was quite good and we missed snow back in Pinehurst. It was melted by the time we got home. When we discuss timeshares with others, they are very surprised at the incredible deal we got from you, and especially, the low yearly maintenance fee. Most are paying four to five times our fee. We are learning more about banking and trading as days go by. Thanks for all your help in making timeshare an enjoyable and profitable experience. Warm regards, Hi Scott,We recently returned from our week in Florida at the Sheraton Vistana Villages. We had a wonderful time at this resort, it was more than we could have asked for.It was a perfect location to all the area attractions. 3 minutes to SeaWorld 7 minutes to Disney and 20 minutes to Universal. We invited my brother in law and his family to stay with us. We stayed in a 2 bedroom sleeps 8 and we had plenty of room for all of us.Everything about the resort was perfect.We are looking forward to our week at Gurneys this fall and I just confirmed a 3 bedroom week in Hilton Head at the Waterside at Spinnaker for August 05.I can't thank enough for selling me my South African Timeshares. Everyone I tell that my timeshare is in South Africa thinks I'm joking but I’m the one laughing now. We never would have been able to afford these vacations without it.Thanks Again,PS. Friends of my Brother own at Sheraton Vistana Villages. They paid $15,000 and $800 maintenance 2yrs.ago for 1 week!  Hi Scott,   I wanted you to know we had a great vacation at Marina Village at Snug Harbor on Fort Myers Beach, FL. We stayed on the top floor in a two bedroom two Bath condo and invited my brother and sister in law to stay with us. We could sit on the balcony overlooking the bay and watch dolphin playing, boats cruising by and pelicans flying. I was surprised to find out after booking this vacation that it was spring break week. Thanks again for teaching me the ropes. I keep getting excellent trades. I just traded my one bedroom for a two bedroom sleeps 6/6 at Spinnaker at Shipyard Hilton Head, SC for August 06.   All The Best, Scott,   We just got back from Melia Puerto Vallarta. Very nice resort we had 2 rooms for my girlfriend and I. More then what we needed, we were thrilled.  When I was there I know 2 people I talked out of buying there and gave them you web site. Melia was selling weeks for $10,000 US$. I think these 2 woman from Chicago will be contacting you for sure.  We could have been wearing your t-shirts on the beach every day and people would be thankful to find you.   I have my 2006 trip all booked and I am now working on 2007! I know My Aunt Renee and Uncle Ron are off to Hawaii for 3 weeks this month. We are all believers.   Thanks,   THANK YOU Scott,   Being first time users of our timeshare, we have now officially confirmed that it is and will be a worthwhile investment. Thanks to you and your recommendation of the Mayan Palace, Nuevo Vallarta, we had a dynamite trip. We appreciate the step by step help that you offered us and the immediate attention you gave whenever there was a question. Thanks to you Scott, we are now over our fear of "what did we get ourselves into" and we are looking forward to planning our next trade while we continue to recommend RCI and Scott Riddle to other prospective buyers. Sincerely,   St. Charles, Mn  Dear Scott,   Just a note to thank you for making my RCI points purchase so quick and easy!  I have already received all my documents as well as my membership from RCI and am looking forward to planning my first get away.   I majored and work in finance and am well aware of the normal "sales tactics" used in timeshare sales and was extremely happy to find a way in which I could recognize a good deal, do my own research and not have to sit and listen to a long winded speech by someone more than likely less qualified than I to speculate on a good financial move.   Trading Time made my purchase quick, easy and painless with the added value of a knowledgeable seller with an excellent reputation and superior customer service.   Thanks again Scott, I will most certainly recommend you, without hesitation, to anyone I find looking to purchase RCI points.    Sincerely,   D. Vigil Los Angeles, CA Thanks Scott for all of your help. I love my timeshare and I have searched and searched and have also viewed many timeshare companies and previewed and I have the deal of all deals. Every time I go away I have paid the least for my timeshare and I'm staying in the same unit as they are. This is the best thing I ever did. Last year I traded my unit for a studio in Divie little bay in St martin for 31000 points and this year I traded for Divi Phoenix beach in Aruba for 39500 points and both were beach front villas and beautiful. I still have points leftover. Both times I went in june so I realize I need to look way ahead for other times of year. thanks   Palm City, Florida  Dear Scott:               Thank your for your assistance in getting the Texas Time Share on the RCI point system. We have e-mailed a couple of times and spoken on the phone once, and have been impressed by your professional manner in dealing with us. I look forward to start using the system and its advantages, with your help and advice. The Deed arrived yesterday and all is correct. I have no hesitation in recommending you to future clients and you can use my name as a reference.     Sincerely     Dr.                  Encinitas, CA  Scott,   I want to thank you for the time and patience you took in explaining how the points system worked and how I can use it to suit my needs.  My account was established with RCI in less than 4 weeks and you made the process extremely painless for me.  It was everything you said it would be. I have already started planning my first vacation!  Thanks a million and I look forward to talking to you again soon!  Thanks again!   , MI Dear Scott,   I just want to reiterate what I have said before – it is always a pleasure doing business with you.  Through you I have been able to buy two timeshares at Rayburn Country and add to my point inventory at very fair prices.  I wish I had known of you when I bought my first timeshare – I would have saved thousands of dollars converting to points.  Thanks again and I hope we will be able to do business again in the future. Scott,  I am writing to thank you for your help in getting me started in the point system. I have been in the weeks system for over 25 years, and have wanted to get into the points systems for a long time. However, each time I inquired about converting, the costs were prohibitive. I some cases, the conversion fees were more than I paid for the week!   You were the first that I have found that made it afordable. Thanks again, and good luck in the future.   Houston, Texas  Hi, This is Stan, I bought a points package from you around a year ago, so far it has worked great. We have stayed in three different places all for the $297.00 maintenance fee. So far the places we have stayed are like 2 bedroom apartments for a lot less than a motel room. We have also stayed at a resort in Wisconsin, 20 minutes from our house, 3 weekends for 8000 points each time, this place charges $200-$250 a night all year round.    Thanks again,    Scott:Just to let you know that we are all set to go with RCI.com.  You are the ultimate example of good service and ethical dealings.  I'm thrilled to become plugged in to the RCI points opportunity at a fraction of the cost that I would have paid had I joined in the normal manner.  If anyone doubts that you are for real, they are welcome to e-mail me for a reference.   Best Regards,    Hi Scott, A quick line to let you know we've "enjoyed" our experience using RCI points.  We've already booked a short trip to Maine in the summer and booked a unit in January for my daughters and a couple of their friends in Aruba. Everything has gone as planned.   Thanks again,    Dear Scott:   Thanks for helping us get involved with your South African timeshares. We have taken 4 trips so far, and (as you promised) the accommodations for each has exceeded our expectations. The trips included – Cabo San Lucas 04 – 2BR, ocean view, beautiful Nuevo Vallarta – 05 – 2BR, - gave to friend – they were amazed – couldn’t stop talking about the pool, great golf , big room ,etc. Orlando – 06 – 2BR in Sheraton Vistana – fantastic grounds, multiple pools,  and excellent proximity to Disney and other attractions. Orlando – 07 – 3BR in Orange Lakes – wow – great pool area with huge lazy river/water complex,  gigantic condo (1300+ sf) – they tried to sell us an 2 br in this place for 24K + 800 annual dues (we politely declined – and were laughing inside at what it cost us to stay here)  Looking forward to our next trip   Thanks for all your help with planning and holding our hands through the timeshare exchange process.   Best Regards  Dear Scott,  I wanted to thank you for lining me up with the South Africa timeshare!! In the nine months since we purchased our two weeks in South Africa, our daughter have had a wonderful week at the Princeville Resorts in Kauai, Hawaii, and  we recently returned from a wonderfully relaxing week in at the Barrier Island Station in Duck, North Carolina, where our timeshare was a two minute walk from the magnificent beach.  We were impressed with the facility and what it offered. This was our first experience with time sharing and we never really believed in it before.  Our friends shared their experiences and spoke so highly of you, we thought we'd take the gamble. What a positive experience.  At this point, we are ahead of the game...as all future vacations, ala RCI are basically free.  Thanks to your tutoring and guidance, we have learned to trade online and over the phone.  We have already entered searches for return visits next year to North Carolina. We are anxiously looking forward to our scheduled week next spring the Scottsdale Camelback Resort in Scottsdale. Lastly, thank you for being so readily available to answer questions and assist with entering trade searches and commenting on the resorts! *Of note, when calling RCI to enter the search, the RCI agent said we were lucky to own in a South Africa timeshare, as they have such good trading power. Thanks,                               , D.D.S.   update: Dear Scott, We spent Christmas '02 week in Palm Beach, Florida and stayed at the Gold Crown   Palm Beach Shores Resort, where we had an oceanfront unit.  Each day we went walking nearby in a beautiful park, sat on the beach and ordered drinks from the beach bar service,  and in the evenings, walked around the beautiful City Lights Shopping Area.  This resort was very busy selling timeshares, the come-ons which we avoided.  However, one day, in the elevator, we began speaking to the TimeShare manager.  I asked him how much one week sold for...he asked me "Christmas week???  That sells for $30,000. Do you own any timeshares?"  Unable to contain our smiles (and smirks), I "innocently" replied "yes, in South Africa."  He quickly said, "Oh, you got one of those great deals, please don't tell anyone here about that or I will go out of business." So, Scott, thank you again for selling me my SA units and for guiding me toward the better places to stay when I trade. I am looking forward to writing to tell you about our next venture over my spring break to Scottsdale, Arizona!                                                          Sincerely, Dear Scott,     Thanks so much for your help in purchasing our timeshare in South Africa. Since we got it we have been to a wonderful place in the Bahamas and we have booked a place in Saint Marteen for next year. We have also taken advantage, on your advice, of a summer getaway from RCI.  You are really knowledgeable about this timeshare stuff. It’s a pleasure doing business with you. Now that you have shown us it really works, my daughters are thinking of buying them also.  I have friends who have paid over fifteen thousand dollars for their timeshares and their maintenance fees are three times higher than mine.  You were right!!!  It works.  It’s really fun to know we’ve paid so little to have so much fun. We can’t wait to buy more for ourselves. Again, thanks for all your help.  You made it very easy and taught us allot.   THANKS......           Dear Scott:   Just a short letter to thank you for your help and expertise with the South African timeshares I purchased from you.  I would especially like to thank you for patience in answering all the questions I had about the timeshares you were selling and for the advice on how to use the weeks to achieve maximum value.  I must admit I had my doubts.    Using my South African weeks, this past year I have been able to journey to Las Vegas at the Hilton Vacation Club, Massanutten in Virginia, Tradewinds Cruise Club in St. Maarten, and shortly, to Istanbul, Turkey.  All doubts have been erased.    I also own a timeshare at Massanutten and I am ashamed to admit that it does not have the trading power of any of my three South African weeks.  It especially hurts me that I paid more that twice for my one every other year Massanutten week than for my three South African weeks.    The cruise to St. Maarten was spectacular.  While sailing, I found out that one couple had used 124,000 points for the trip.  Another couple had paid close to $3,000 for the week trip.  RCI had charged them just over 2 cents for each of the 124,000 points the trip cost.  Neither couple could believe what the trip cost me.  Basically the savings on this one trip paid for almost the entire cost of two of my South African weeks.  Astonishing.    And now you are providing me a very low cost entry into the RCI points, which will enhance the value of my South African weeks while provide me and my family greater vacation flexibility.  I can hardly wait.    Should anyone desire to communicate with someone who has purchased timeshare weeks from you, feel free to use me as a reference.    Thank you for your time and service, you truly offer products that when used properly, that are worth more than their weight in gold.  Scott,  That is a definite.....  We appreciate your professionalism and willing to share with us the hidden secrets of the "informed".   You are awesome.  I look forward to working with you, much more, in the future as I recommend not only my business associates, clients but my friends to you... Thanks again for your much welcomed help and advise.  Warmly,    PS. I took your advice and booked the Imperial Fiesta Club at Hotel Casa Maya, Cancun.  We will probably save in excess of $1,000.00 over the week because of your advice... Thanks Scott,   I had told you I had the Mayan in Puerto Vallarta book for 8 months now. Due to a change in plans, I needed Acapulco Mayan. Thanks to your help and a little luck with only 14 days before my departure RCI got me the Grand Mayan in Acapulco. My 2 bedroom South Africa unit got me one of the best hotels I have ever been in all of Mexico. The Grand Mayan 1 Bedroom room I had, had a pool on the deck. I would highly recommend the Grand Mayan to anyone. It did not hurt that we had 7 days with 85 degrees and never saw 1 cloud in the sky.   Muchas Gracias,   Fort Lee, NJ Hi Scott,      We just wanted to thank you for the great South African timeshare deal. At the start when we heard about it we thought you were crazy, well everything was great. Our first trip was to Orange Lake Country Club this place was AWESOME.The absolute best part about owning the timeshare I bought through Scott was the help he gave to make our first trade. Personally I do not have the time to check for the best resort to stay at and this is where Scott is so helpful. When buying with Scott you never have to worry about how things are done.  For those of you who do not own a South African  timeshare, you are missing out on a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends.  A deal not to be missed.  Thanks again,  Dear Scott,               Thank you for all your efforts. You sold us a timeshare that has made our life more enjoyable. The price we paid is thousands of dollars less then friends of ours paid for theirs. You did not stop at selling the timeshare, but you are always there when we have any questions about a place to go for our next vacation. You have assisted us in trading to the Westin in Florida, Time share in Vermont, and one in San Diego. You have always been there for us even if we called at 10:00PM you would work with us for over an hour until we found the right place to go.    Your recommendations have been right on and one place is better then the next.   Sincerely,                            , New York   Dear Scott:  I just wanted to take a moment to let you know two things:  You delivered what you promised (and earlier than expected) and your thorough knowledge of the RCI exchange process got me into the condo in Aruba that I thought would never materialize.   I am confident that without your help, I would have been housed in an expensive hotel (with a large cash outlay) rather than a beautiful 2 bedroom condo unit on the beach (essentially FREE).    As you know, I had tried everything to get the accommodations I needed and was just about to give up when you gave me a short lesson and some tips to help.  Wow!!  Within a few days I was notified that my FIRST CHOICE condo was confirmed and we are now looking forward to a warm sunny (and economical) vacation in Aruba.   Thank you SO much for your help and your efficient handling of our timeshare purchase.   Englewood, Florida  Call me, I am easy to talk to. I look forward to working with you as a client...   Regards, Scott Riddle - Owner/Seller 1-800-692-6636 direct 1-936-582-7753 Canada/Hawaii scott@tradingtime.net Place a Bid!
