Well, after seeing all of the updates on ROFR, I wrote to our closing agent today to find out if they had heard anything. It seemed like everybody else who submitted the same day as us heard back this past Tuesday. I just got an email from the closing agent saying they had "just received notice" that we passed ROFR. I still haven't received a phone call or email from our broker about it. So here's the info:

BWV 50 pts, August UY, all 2010 and 2011 points. $87/point, buyer pays 2010 MF and all closing costs (yep, we paid premium price...). Submitted 4/26, passed ROFR 5/21.

We just made an offer on 50 points VWL at $82.00/Pt to increase our holding. No points remaining for 2010 and 50 points coming in Dec. 2011. Now we will see if we get through ROFR. Please send Pixie Dust.

Good luck to you. I'm waiting on a VWL contract myself. My offer was less than yours though so now I'm a bit worried. Fingers crossed for both of us.

Thank You! We didn"t quibble much because 50 point contracts don"t come around everyday and that is just what we wanted to add to our current holding. Here's to us both!

well I guess you're who I blame! I wanted that

 

[DizneyNutz]

Yeah those 50 point contracts don't hang around at all. So we jumped on it because it was a perfect increase to our existing VWL contract Here's some Pixie Dust for another one to show up soon for you.

I've been watching this tread as I'm thinking of buying resale for the first time ever. The prices are too good to go to MS and buy. Since I want to keep my April UY, that really limits me. I check the TSS every day, sometimes twice a day, but nothing yet. What other companies would folks recommend in addition to the TSS? I'm thinking another 100 points, most likely at SSR or OKW. Since I'm not in a hurry, I can play the waiting game.

I've used both of the following and been happy with the them.

**** and Jaki at **********.com

or Shontell at dvcbyresale.com

Fidelity is the Disney recommended seller and **** and Jaki will cobroker with them so you might be able to contact them, tell them what you're looking for and they could check on what they have also.

5/21 - submitted offer (which was accepted) for 100 pts at VWL, Dec use year with 100 banked '09 pts and all '10 and '11 pts, $80 per point, buyer pay closing and '10 dues, (current members). Waiting for seller to sign and go to Disney for ROFR. Found it through Fidelity and asked **** to co-broker.

We did our first resale with the TSS but I just did an offer that was accepted earlier this week with Shontell. I had been watching for a February UY for 100points at AKL. Fingers crossed that this one gets through ROFR since we are only at $75/point.

I suggest you contact **** at **********.com.
I was also shopping for 100 points at SSR. He listed an April UY with 100 points in an email to me. (I was looking for a fall UY). Maybe it is still there.

as others have mentioned Jaki/**** and Shontell are both excellent (I have purchased or been ROFRd with each of them and they were pleasant to deal with).

They both co-broker with Fidelity(GMAC) - (TSS does not co-broker). This is important as Fidelity probably has more inventory than TSS, Jaki/**** and Shontell combined (maybe times two).

I prefer dealing with Jaki/**** and/or Shonell vs Fidelity directly as Fidelity tacks on some odd closing costs (at least that was the case when I was buying... I think there was a recent Fidelity purchase that seemed to indicate that closing costs were reasonable w Fidelity).

Good luck w your purchase, I am sure you will find what you are looking for. Just be patient. Waiting the 30 ROFR days is a killer (I know, I had to do 3 before I got passed).

 

[n2mm]

Thanks for all of the advice. I've added the others to my favorites to watch and have signed up for emails. I own 6 contracts now, but this would be my first time buying resell. At the price I'm seeing lately, it really looks like a good deal, even though I would have to pay closing for the first time ever.

Just got word on Fri. Dis has passed on or add on. It was exactly 3 weeks. 200 pt SSR 16 pts 2010, 200 pts 2011 $63 pp. This is our 3rd add-on, other 2 direct from Dis, and I have to say so far everything has gone VERY smooth no problems. Lets hope the rest of the process is the same. If I had known then what I know now would have done all add-ons through TSS.

 

[YodaQuant]

The latest inventory of SSR contracts that I received from Fidelity (GMAC) had around 385 contracts for sale to choose from. Great selection.

 

[breick]

We are buying another VWL contract, so we decided to sell our very first contract - 25 OKW pts. I faxed the paperwork to **** yesterday and he emailed me that it sold today! (25 OKW pts @ $80 per pt, March use year, all '10 and '11 pts available, buyer pays closing and '10 dues) So we will do the paperwork and send it off to Disney.
