Pat Spell contacted me last night. Disney bought back my BWV 500 point resale contract. Here are the details in case anyone is tracking this stuff.
It had 500 points for 2002, and all 2003 . The total cost was $35000.00 seller is responsible for dues and closing. It would have been a decent deal,as far as things are now.
I still have a 360 OKW at $70 pp in there. I won't find out about this for a month. With this one I pay closing and 1/2 dues. There are 360 points for 2002,and 360 for 2003.
If this dosen't go through i may opt for the MB ,I'll have to look into it. All the new listings are at $70.00 and up, making resale not very attractive. Especially when you add in the $2 or $3 pp for closing and paying dues for the current year.
I have been involved in a discussion on making another offer if Disney does ROFR. I have decided even if it would work it is not worth the time involved in going through this a month at a time.
Personally I think Disney want's to eleminate the resale market which will hurt all of us. If the price is up to where it doesn't make sense to offer on it who will buy our resales,Disney?
If they see no body is buying resales,they will stop buying them,leaving the price inflated and stagnant on the resale market. I'm very new at this and they are just my observations. I hope Dean will comment on this. I know most of the resale brokers are just as confused as us all. I almost think that if Disney doesn't buy a contract back it is a bad deal. Comments please. Rich


I just got off the phone with Pat Spell. I added $2.00 to my offer and the seller agreed to refuse Disney's ROFR. I am doing this
for two reasonsto get the points and find out what really can happen. Pat Spell (who was on the original DVC team) insists that this is a proper procedure. I am not disputing all the posts about this,I just have to give her the benifit of the doubt. I will keep everyone posted as this unfolds. Rich
 
Sorry to hear of your loss.
What was the use year? We are wait listed for a small add-on. They said don't hold your breath but if there is a 500 point chance I might not have to hold for so long
 
Sorry to hear that, Poorman. Maybe the fact that the seller was paying all dues and closing had something to do with it...Disney pretty much gets the points for purchase price without having to pay extra. Maybe Disney is also buying back the big contracts; my 150 point BWV with 75 banked points went through as of yesterday. I bought at just under $71/pp; Jaki told me that she had a WLV bought back on Monday where the buyer was going to pay $71/pp, so who knows how Disney decides which to buy back. Good luck with your other contract!
 
If Disney buys back the points, does the seller still pay the broker's commission?
 

It was a December use year,and Disney assumes the contact as written the seller still pays the commission.

For a small add on you may look into the resale market. I was told they aren't buying the small contracts back,not worth the trouble. A 75 point VWL went through the other day. Good luck. Rich
 
Oh well,not my use year
Thanks for the reply Poorman
Good luck, you'll find something I'm sure . It must be frustrating and such a let down though. Hang in there.
 
The wait is so awful Poorman and then to be disappointed in the end...
I'm sorry about your contract. I hope your OKW makes it through.
 
Poorman,
Sorry your contract didn't go through, I agree that the waiitng and wondering is the most painful part of the re-sale process. I hope OKW goes through for you.
 
Rich:

Good luck with your counter-offer :). If you get it at $72 it will still be a good deal since you're getting $5,000 worth of banked points plus $500 in closing brings your real cost down to $61 pp. I hope it goes through for you!
 
An update to this thread. Pat Spell just called me, I got the 500 BWV points by offering an additional $2.00 pp to the seller. Disney let it go through. If you read the first post about 3 weeks ago it will explain the whole scenerio. So I guess it is worth it to offer more if you really want it. If you have the time, start low and work your way up to a fair price. Now I am waiting to hear about my OKW offer. Now I probably will get it because it was just a backup plan because everone was sure the BWV contract ould not go through. Happy days...... Regards, Rich
 
Very interesting!

Thanks for the update!

... and Congratulations! :)
 
Rich,
YEAH:Pinkbounc :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: I am so happy for you! I felt so sorry - boy, who am I to whine?:D You've been waiting alot longer than I have!
 
Congratulations! :D Did the seller still pay for closing and dues? If not, that's still a good deal at $72 per point.
 
JOC,
Seller paid closing and dues, and I have 500 , 2002 points. and all 2003 points. My OKW contract is for 360 points at $70 I pay closing and 1/2 dues, not as good a deal but when the BWV deal didn,t go through I put this one in. Still ends up being about $64.00 pp after I rent out the points. The BWV nets out at $62.00 pp after I rent out the points. Regards, Rich
 
By the way "Poorman,"
Your moniker is very deceptive!!! :D
You obviously aren't a poor man if you can afford all the DVC contracts you've been purchasing lately!!! :p
