I think there is a difference between something that you dont know is a bad deal because it depends on future events (real estate market shifts or whatever) vs something that is a bad deal because you were mislead or didn't understand the contract.

If you take a risk and it doesn't work out - that is life. However that is a little different from the timeshare case, which seems less about risk and more about tricking people.

There's much worse tricks, like convincing you to fight a war as a soldier where you can't leave under threat of arrest or death, depending on the country, for example.

Ok... your point? That is also awful and bad.
