We made it through ROFR two days ago! 150 BWV points, buyer pays MF's, seller pays closing costs. $50 pp. Woohoo!

Now, the eternal wait to close. Ugh.

Congratulations! That is great!

Yes waiting to close seems like it is taking forever. We are going on two weeks now without any closing paperwork. I have seen where others have closed and in the system within two weeks.

I had noticed you were waiting on that awesome deal. Glad it went through for you. We have a 150 pt. BWV contract awaiting ROFR also. Would you mind telling us which resale company you used? Just curious.

I am curious also which resale company? We just made an offer on a SSR contract and we offered 5.00 less then asking price, have not heard back but the more I read maybe that is even too much! Oh well see what happens we have plenty of time!

VB, Feb UY, 210 pts, $40, pro-rated '11 MF, 9pts in '11, all thereafter. Buyer pays closing.

Also waiting:

Wow! I am impressed. None of the sellars I made offers to were willing to go anywhere near that low. Finally settled on 150 points at BWV for $65pp and was happy to get it!

It's that darn 3/20 deadline I tell you.

I think you've nailed it, pooh. Even though I don't think we care about the extras - you never know how we might feel a few years down the road - and since we have them with our current SSR contract, I figured it's best to have everything match. I might be kicking myself in a couple of months if prices really dip after 3/20, but there's no point in second guessing myself now - and I thrilled to own at BWV!

Great negotiating! Would you mind sharing which resale company you went with? We have friends trying to purchase at BWV and they can't seem to find any sellers willing to make a deal. We just did o.k. with ours (not quite as good as yours!) but they're not having much luck.

Last week, I contacted TSS and the agent told me twice that my offer is really low and that it's almost "unreasonable" to ask for the seller to pay MFs. I was really put off by the conversation. I feel like they are really inflating the prices right now and giving advice to buyers that makes it much harder to find the "deals" you guys are posting. Are those of you who are getting the lower prices using different brokers?

Sending you a PM

I had the same experience with them. I'm waiting on ROFR through another broker.

Can you imagine the selling/buying strategy after the extra benefits are gone. The value will certainly change. It will be interesting to watch. I'm thinking it's gone to become a buyers market.

This particular thread is probably not the right place for strategy discussions, but everyone should know that ALL of the timeshare brokers are "transaction brokers" and they work for BOTH parties to make the transaction happen. They want to see a sale go through, and close successfully, and they don't want someone to lose a contract that would be perfect for them for a couple hundred bucks.

I had the opposite interaction with TTS on a sale a few months ago -- the offer was lower than I wanted to go, but I took their advice and sold at what they considered a "fair price," because I know they have a very good handle on what will fly and what won't.

Just because someone tells us something we don't want to hear doesn't mean they are wrong.
