Didn't know Ebay sold DVC. How does that work with ROFR? Is there a closing company that handles everything?

Sounds sketchy...hopefully they didn't require full payment as I would not give $30K for things that certainty won't pass ROFR

Don't mean to be rude but have been told if it sounds too good to be true it probably is too good to be true. The instant sale for the first two contracts will be way higher on one of the main broker. There just must be something off with this perhaps a bigger mortgage than selling price.

Make sure you have a good closing agent and they review estoppel correctly

You just work through an established title company that'll do the estoppel (contract verification, basically), handle the escrow, and close out the deal. Obviously you don't send 30K directly to someone on eBay.

"Do you take Zelle or prefer a direct wire transfer??"

Bankruptcies! I bought my BLT one that way a few years back on eBay too.

Hell no! I put it through my Amex and only paid 1/4 until it goes through.

I know, I was just kidding. Do you actually buy directly from the seller on ebay though? You're braver than I!

Just wish I was braver more like in 2012 when I bought BLT for 11,000 on eBay for 160 points!

Hi Everyone! Disboard newbie but longtime reader. First - a big "thank you" to all who share their knowledge and experience here. It is beyond helpful. We are owners at SSR since 2014. With our first grandchild arriving soon and loving F&W as our favorite time to vacation, we have realized that another contract is in order and BCV is our priority. BUT I have noticed that just in the past couple of months of reading ROFR threads that point price has risen significantly. Difficult to find/bid on anything under $130. Is this happening at all resorts? Higher prices here to stay? 3rd quarter bump? As litte as 2 months ago it seems contracts were significantly lower. I'm not in a hurry and don't want to jump in at a bubble but my feeling is that maybe these new prices are here to stay. I realize nobody has a crystal ball but there is a ton of experience here - what say you? ;0

They have been rising at a steady pace. Some resorts by an average of just a couple of bucks. DVC Resale Market that we use publishes some decent stats on their sales volume.

I've posted before but recently change my username... so I look like a total newb.

This would be first DVC contract, hoping for the best. Totally stripped, but we have firm vacation plans through the end of 2019, so first use wouldn't be until 2020 anyway (and also don't mind the delayed closing). Fingers crossed!

[silva086]

thanks. this was my first try with DVC, I think this is the most upset I've been Disney!! oh well, they have the contractual right to ROFR...
I just made an offer on dvctimeshares.com and I'm waiting to hear back. we'll see what happens

The dvctimeshares listing was apparently already under agreement...

 

[silva086]

Well here we go again. Got an offer accepted through dvcsales. Lori and Mark were SUPER helpful and this got done very quickly in less than an hour

silva086---$97-$17158-160-SSR-Jun-0/17, 183/18, 160/19, 160/20- sent 8/2

A little more than I wanted to pay per point but it does have 23 extra points banked in 2018

IMHO (and if Disney asks me) this one will pass. I'm about a week ahead of you at SSR for $98 pp, so maybe we'll celebrate together!
