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

[rlduvall]

Thanks for making me feel better

I know - waiting for closing will be like an eternity.

Oh lookie, lookie . . . my signature worked. Thank you vascubaguy for the great DVC images to choose from.

Now if I could just figure out how to do one of those countdown clock thingies.

I also heard today, my VB got snatched up by Disney. I made another offer today on a different listing, which was accepted by the buyer, for 210 VB, Feb UY, 78 currently avail, 105 banked into '07, all '07 coming. $61/point, buyer pays closing and '06 MF for 100 points only. Not yet submitted.
I may clean out TSS's inventory on VB waiting for Disney to say they've got enough VB.

What is ROFR.. I went back to the abbreviations and this is all I found...

R&C- Rose And Crown Pub
Ressie - Reservation
RFC - Rainforest Cafe
RnR - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
ROFLOL - Rolling on the Floor Laughing Out Loud


Thank you for your patience

What is ROFR.. ...

ROFR = Disney's Right Of First Refusal

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

I just popped in to say WE PASSED ROFR!!!

Yeah, I'm not excited or anything! They must do them in "batch mode". Ours was submitted 10/30. BTW, our use year is March, and we bought a stripped contract on purpose--we knew we weren't going again until 2008 (just went in August). We need a 2BR (4 kids), so we needed a lot of points, and already have our vacation plans set for 2007. So, I started looking early, when we had the $ but didn't need to use the points right away, when this contract came up and it was perfect. While my kids are young, I'd rather do one huge trip every other year, just because of the logistics involved. So, our 8/08 trip will be a 9-10 day extravaganza!

Okay, I'm babbling. Sorry to those who didn't pass ROFR--your time will come, there are more contracts out there.

 

[kdzgon]

We'rs sure keeping vascubaguy busy updating! May I suggest we pitch in and be sure to visit http://members.cox.net/disneyvacationclub/pages/ROFR/dvc_resale_history.htm and enter the details in to his searchable data base? (The link is also in his sig now, too).

Congratulations to all who passed , and thanks again to vascubaguy for all your work maintaining records!!

Congrats, Kelly! They sure made you wait this one out....and look, now you get to wait all over again (for closing) - good thing there's a holiday coming up to distract those of us waiting for closing!!

 

[WDWMOE]

Just wondering are people just not buying right now? Are they holding on to their money for the Holidays or saving up for AKV?!?!

 

[kdzgon]

Just wondering are people just not buying right now? Are they holding on to their money for the Holidays or saving up for AKV?!?!

Although we just bought so I am on hiatus, I see little to no contracts worth bidding on. They are either stripped/reduced points and/or larger contracts. While I am sure the holidays come in to play, I think the recent resale contracts are simply too close to Disney direct prices to warrant a purchase (I realize this is in large part due to ROFR numbers).

 

[Delaware Mike]

Although we just bought so I am on hiatus, I see little to no contracts worth bidding on. They are either stripped/reduced points and/or larger contracts.

I just looked at a reseller's website (non-TTS) and they have 14 sub-150 point DVC contracts available (65 contracts overall). I would find it hard to believe all of these would be stripped.


...just thinking out loud...

Just wondering are people just not buying right now? Are they holding on to their money for the Holidays or saving up for AKV?!?!

I'd say it might be a combination of all-the-above. However, I'd say people are still buying, they just aren't DIS'ers... or just chose not to post their contracts.

I sold my small contract for the purpose of a possible add-on at AKV next year, but we'll see. Depending on the points breakdown and cost, that money might go toward a kitchen remodel.

BTW, received the closing documents yesterday evening via email for the contract I'm selling (21 days from ROFR notification). Signed, notarized and heading back to FL today.

It ALWAYS slows down this time of year. People are buying for the holidays, and they're really not thinking about summer vacations right now. It will pick up again around the end of February, and by Mar-Apr...contracts will be flying off the shelf.

I'm not sure how AKV will change that, but I am still sure things will "pick up".

I just looked at a reseller's website (non-TTS) and they have 14 sub-150 point DVC contracts available (65 contracts overall). I would find it hard to believe all of these would be stripped.


...just thinking out loud...

I'm sure you are correct, although I did say "stripped/reduced points". I also used >100 as a benchmark for "small" contracts, not 150.

I know people here often reference four "main" resale sites, but I am only familiar with two (plus one that pulls from both as well). I did look mostly at TTS before replying, although I receive daily emails from another site, and many of the interesting contracts are routinely "sale pending" already (TTS also has a number of interesting contracts already "sale pending"). TTS seems to have a greater number of larger (even counting >150) contracts (and ~18% more contracts total) than when I started looking a few months ago - I have no idea if that is a seasonal phenomenon, though. Perhaps once the holidays get close buyers drift away for a while, yet sellers begin to list contracts after they have taken their vacations for the yr, so that by year's end the majority of 2006 vacations have already occurred, skewing the current offerings?

As Disney often (though not always) offers current yr points for sold-out resorts, I just don't see a great advantage to resale for larger contracts (or for smaller contracts as add-ons) without a demonstrable price difference or "extra" points. I am talking "in general", not for people that want a specific resort and/or do not want to wait to purchase it from Disney. Paying $3ppt/net more on a 150 pt BWV contract from Disney is $450, less any savings from pro-rating MFs- if you can book a reservation 6-8 wks earlier (maybe even instead of booking a hotel rm), gain points from using a CC and/or deduct a portion of your financing costs, surely that has some value?
JMO, FWIW.

Hi Laurie...

I think it is seasonal, due to the holidays and due to those "on the fence" about selling waiting to see how much MFs go up for the coming year. Once the MFs are "officially" posted/mailed, those feeling its too much of an increase will start selling.

However, the website to which I refer hasn't experienced a diminished number of contracts for sale. In fact, when I recently purchased my SSR points, the contract I purchased hadn't been listed yet...the reseller had so many they couldn't get them all posted.

The only remark I'll make to your very valid point is this... "It all depends on how you package your contract." If you have your contract formed in a particular manner, it can pass ROFR no matter the actual dollar amount offered per-point. Now there are limits, but one can pass ROFR while paying a few dollars below $85.00 per point (SSR). Can this be done through DVC? No. Can it be done with a good reseller, one who knows how to formulate a contract? Absolutely. So, one can get a demonstratable price difference through the use of a knowledgeable and reputable reseller.

Anyway, I sincerely hope you have a great holiday season!

Mike
