Anyone made it through (or not made it through) ROFR recently? - Section V

[saintstickets]

I have a March use year too. Last time around, before I sold all my points, I had September as a use year. It was way, way, more easy to get September. Thinking about it, I wish I'd waited to buy in Dec this time around. That's a great use year. All the resorts have a lot of inventory for December and it fits my life style better. But now I'm stuck with March and so I'll grin and bear it, as they say!

We have an August UY and it is VERY difficult to find contracts under 125 pts at our resorts with that UY. We had one small March UY contract at VWL but sold it after using all the banked points. I've noticed that September & December seem to be more prevalent but like you, we'll live with what we have.

100 SSR (Dec), 88 banked '11 points, all '12 and '13 points, $60, split closing costs, seller pays MF for 11 months and buyer pays MF for 1 month of 2012 dues, submitted 10/8

I was hoping to be patient enough until I could get a contract for $55 but was diagnosed with breast cancer the same day as the seller counter offered and decided I didn't want to mess with it anymore. In the grand scheme of things it's only $500 more than I wanted to spend!

So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I hope that contract brings you happy thoughts through this.

Does anybody know how long it takes to get the points in an existing membership after closing? My broker's email said 14-28 days, but I hope it's not that long -- I didn't realize that I was at risk of missing our banking deadline of 10/31.

My points dropped into my account today (Monday), exactly two calendar weeks after closing. Yea! Banked my points and made my reservation.

I have a question for those that frequent this thread. How do you find your DVC contract?

- Have you listed a preference with the 4 main DVC resellers and wait to be contacted?
- Do you get on their email lists and then respond?
- Do you check their online listings periodically? If so, how often?
- Are you in telephone contact with an agent and they call you with the size/resort/UY contract you are seeking?
- Do you search differently depending on the DVC reseller?
- Is there a different route you take to find your preference?

I realize the most likely answer will probably be all of the above or some combination thereof but I was just wondering how most of you go about the process. TIA for your response either on this thread or privately.

I contacted 2 of the big resale agencies. One did not have the resort/size/UY that I was interested in at that time (TSS.). The other (Fidelity) had several contracts that were within the parameters I was looking at. The first offer I made was accepted.

Before I was ready to make an offer I did peruse the online listing of the big 4, just getting a feel on list price, movement on the contracts etc, for a few weeks. The contract that I bid on first had been on the website for several weeks. I was hopeful they would be negotiable on price. They were.
