Long time lurker (about 4 years), first time poster. Thank you to all the people on this board for all the information regarding DVC and the resale process. I felt like I had a pretty good knowledge base when I finally got the green light from my wife.

That is AWESOME! My effective cost per point was $140 after I sold my expiring points, but I still didn't get loaded 2018 points or seller paying any MFs! Good luck!



And the rumors of the so called wait list for VGF, which may or may not be closed or may not even exist, makes me think that unless there just happens to be someone who wants 200-250 points in that particular UY, who calls right when that contract is being reviewed, they're not going to bother. I don't know if DVD can unbank points (probably), but if not, then they can't sell that contract until October anyway. (I.e. What ScubaCat just said) And this is still a pretty serious chunk of change to lay out - easily 10k more than a similarly sized SSR or OKW contract.

Thanks! I hope something about this contract will make it unattractive to Disney. Surely even Disney must have an abhorrence for holding stock/dealing with sellers who might not come up with cash to close (Don't know if this is the case. Just wishful thinking)? Unless they take a deposit, there's a good chance someone on a secret wait list would back out when they're finally called to come up with $50600 + CC.

They wouldn’t need a buyer to take all the points, unfortunately, as DVD could take that contract and split it up to any size they see fit.

 

[Mumof4mice]

And unfortunately, even $220/pt is loose change for plenty of people! Arrgh… why did I have to be an inveterate value shopper!?

 

[kboo]

I had a 200 pt pass ROFR at $135 right around when they were raising direct prices to $220 and the minimum direct buy in to 75 points. Perhaps the only thing that made it somewhat unattractive is that there were no current UY points.

And the rumors of the so called wait list for VGF, which may or may not be closed or may not even exist,

If it exists at all, it's probably a yellow legal pad or a TXT file edited by Notepad that floats around the DVD offices that may or may not be used.. or may be lost from time to time, etc. I doubt it's an official "thing". People are told they're on the list, the list is closed, there's no hope, etc. for weeks, maybe an agent graciously adds them to an "unofficial list" (a different memo pad, probably white this time), the process continues, and one day they call and suddenly some points are just available for purchase right then and there over the phone.

I saw this listing and was ready to pounce if my current deal fell through. I wish you the best of luck, but would not be surprised if the terms were just too good for Disney to pass on.

Oh, the contract was submitted on Friday. I think I blocked it out of my memory to preempt disappointment when DVC takes it!

Mumof4mice---$140-$32200-230-VGF-Oct-0/17, 460/18, 230/19-Seller pays 2018 MF + CC- sent 7/27

Wow, loaded contract, low $pp, PLUS seller pays MF and CC? You are good!

Thanks! I wasn't tracking VGF prices closely. Now that everyone is saying this is a great deal, I think I might have bargained a little too hard and just scouted Disney a contract for free… sigh the mouse always wins!

Good luck. We love the BW/BC area and just recently got a BC contract that passed. They don't take many from that area so hope yours passes.

It's too easy to Monday-Morning-Quarterback yourself. You probably put a lot of thought into the offer and felt that this is fair value. It is what it is. If the Mouse takes it, it may reset how you value the points. At the time of the offer, you felt this was fair value. If it passes, HUGE win. If not, it will give you a new data point to assess what you see as fair value.

We all want to think we hooked a big one (or it was the one that got away if it gets ROFRd), but the truth is, if this contract falls through (which, let's be honest, this one has ROFR ME written all over it), you'll eventually find another one. You may pay a few dollars more per point, or if things go south, you may pay less, but what you offered is what you felt was fair value and seller felt was fair value. Don't waste energy second guessing it.

Once we passed the 14 day mark without hearing a word, I knew it was going to come up a taken.

Yikes I am at the 20 day mark

Seems like they are passing a lot of SSR and yours is also higher points. My first Contract was 60 AND an extended contract...so we were doomed from the start. Lol. I'm hoping this new low pt one passes because it is not extended.

You might be just fine! Btw, I want your contract!

They took mine at $90pp, so if they pass yours, I'll be expecting an apology from Disney. How long should I wait for that???

About as long as the rest of us are waiting for the return of the free theme park tickets.
