Please tell me that I'm not the only sucker who has every been lured into a timeshare presentation by the promise of shiny gifts.

A digital camera, a ten-dollar gas card and a trip for two to Vegas (4 days, 3 nights).

Oh poor, sad, STUPID me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did it. I sat through a 90-minute presentation for my gifts.

The digital camera? A piece of crap. A 35mm disposable takes better pictures.

The gas card? Spent. Lousy 1/4 tank. Barely covered the gas it took to get to the location of the presentation.

The trip to Vegas? So many restrictions... soooooooooooo many restrictions.

Total waste of time and efforts. It was good practice, however, for the poor, sappy sales agent who was assigned to me. He learned how to deal with guests who have absolutely no intention of buying into the pitch or purchasing anything, and guests who argue every point that hits the table, and guests who literally say upon entering, "There is zero chance you will make a sale today." (In case you couldn't tell, I was the said guest.)

So, whenever you're enticed by the idea of beautiful gifts to attend a sales presentation, take my advice and JUST SAY NO.
