I'm looking to buy a BWV or BCV resale and have been watching the listings. There have been a couple stripped contracts that might match my needs for points, etc. that have caught my eye. The stripping itself isn't a deal breaker for me, as I may even want to wait until late 2014 to take my first trip on points, but I don't want to cheat myself out of the value of that first year's points. Plus, I'd be paying this money now but not getting to really use it until a year from now.
What is a reasonable adjustment to make for a stripped contract when making an offer? Lower price per point? What typically happens with the maintenance fees for that first year? Will the seller adjust for that?
I'm sort of thinking that whatever adjustments I could get on the sale wouldn't be enough to balance my perceptions of those "lost" points. (i.e. If I had them, and I still waited to take at trip until the 2014 UY, I could have rented those 2013 points and made some money.)
I appreciate any input.
