My own fault for being gung-ho about the dot com boom at the time...

You just reminded me of a timeshare experience. A Fortune 500 company sold it to us, and many more people. As a matter of fact, they sold more weeks than they owned.
In the bankruptcy, we were offered 50 cents on the dollar, or a timeshare somewhere else.
We took the somewhere else.
