What's a good price, was considering buying in for that price

It depends on the number of 2014, 2015, 2016 points that the contract comes with and if you have to pay back 2015 annual dues or not

What is the use year.

I would offer $78 to get the ball rolling.

Of the 50+ AKV contracts currently on the market w/ the major DVC brokers the asking prices range from $76 (a 500 pointer) to $96 per point. The ROFR thread shows what people here on the Dis have paid in the last couple of months.
Generally small contracts are more expensive than big ones. Also I personally had little interest in stripped contracts (those where the current owner used this years and next years points) since I wanted to use the points once I bought them, so to me stripped contracts where worth less, YMMV.

It's April use year with all 2016 points available and 12 banked points from this year. Anything that was around $78-$80 didn't have any points available until 2017

I would also really encourage you to review the ROFR thread for pricing information. It truly was such a valuable resource for us when making an offer on a contract. We are currently in the process of closing on a fully loaded AKV contract with all points available from 2013 on for $85/pt; so $88/pt seems high to me. Best of luck with your search!

How many points are you buying? It seems like the higher point amounts sell for less

I just got an email from Fidelity for AKV 160 points asking $75 August, but has zero points for 2015 and 160 for 2016

I just sold a 100 point AKV contract for $80pp. $88pp is too high.

I just got an email from Fidelity for AKV 160 points asking $75 August, but has zero points for 2015 and 160 for 2016

I just checked them out. That would be a great deal.

Thanks, I just made an offer on that one

Good luck! Love AKV - my avatar is Gordon, a teenage giraffe who lives at AKL/AKV on Uzima savanna (unless he got moved again for bad behavior )

Thanks, I just made an offer on that one

It was amazing that I got that email just after this thread was posted, I am on their mailing list so I get emails from them all the time.

Good luck. I have dealt with Fidelity in the past and had good service with them, but there has been some staff turnover lately.

 

[mickeyman]

I signed up for their emails as well. I'm dealing with someone named Shawn ray. Seemed very nice

Way too high a price for a contract that big.

The good news for you is that AKV remain one of the most plentiful DVC resorts on the resale market. If that owner refuses to budge, move on.

I passed on the $88 one and I'm trying to get one for 160 points at $75 per point

i think the brokers are really inflating the asking prices for stripped contracts. I know prices have gone up but I would never offer the current asking prices. The ROFR thread is very helpful in figuring out what the current market is for resale.

So I got that listing at $75 per point. From what fidelity told me the seller was upset with no offers higher than that. I got the contract today. I think it's a good price
