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

[DizBub]

Just got the news!!

Passed ROFR on BCV 160 points. $72pp, Feb UY, 160 banked 2011 points, 141 2012 points and all points forward. Buyer pays closing and '12 MFs. Fidelity. Thanks Sharon!!

Submitted 6/5.

CLOSED!! 9 weeks so far. Hopefully the loading of the points will happen quickly. I won't know how to act if I don't have this stuff to stress about.

No worries, there's plenty of stuff to worry about: First you've got a to wait for points to load and that's worth at least another week of stress. Then there's all the fun stress regarding booking and your stay: Will there be availability? Will I have to split stay? Which restaurants to make ADRs for? Should I go with the Dining Plan, the TiW card, or OOP? The cost analysis spreadsheets for those. Now you'll have to have multiple windows open to monitor ALL the boards at one time, not just the DVC board.

Oh and don't forget about 3days to a month after your first booking there's a little thing called Add-on-itis, that will start the whole thing over again. So be happy, there's a ton more stress to enjoy.

Reading posts on this thread make me feel like I paid way too much. I guess I didn't do enough research as to what you guys are paying. But, if I offered less it may have taken more hassle and time to get a contract...? Is it really that common to snag a $50/pt contract fully loaded and make it through ROFR? I'd be heartbroken if Disney bought it out from under me.

We passed ROFR today.

Yes, the rock-bottom prices take more work and often lots of rejection before a seller agrees to your price. I lucked out with a loaded BWV contract for $50pp but that was months ago when there was more BWV inventory.
You passed ROFR, enjoy your contract and if you add on, come back to this thread and read up!

Now figure out how much total you THINK could have saved and divide that by the number of years you expect to own DVC. I'll bet that the result is not enough to really worry about. Enjoy your DVC! Woo Hoo!

We're looking forward to using it. Still have to go through closing process. Hopefully by September we can be using the points. We are going to get all the sellers '10 pts, there was 0 for '11, but we will get full points again in Dec. '12.

I still want to own at BWV, BCV, and VWL. I've already got add-on-itis. Depending on how hard it is to book these other 3 will probably determine which home resort we'll get the 2nd time around. I love WL, especially during Christmas. And BCV and BWV is also lovely anytime. I'll make sure to offer less next time around. We've been so excited about becoming DVC members. I shouldn't beat myself up over paying more. It is still less than purchasing new.

That would be just under $50 a year. I feel better. Ty!!

Just remember that there is a spectrum of savings and by buying resale you have already saved a ton of money. You can use the knowledge you have picked up here for your next purchase!

No matter what you paid there will always be someone who gets a better deal, enjoy your points.

Looks like you are going to become an experienced purchaser

Just found out I passed. It looks like OKW contracts are starting to get through ROFR. I've had 3 taken so I'm happy to get this one through.

I just passed, too - we're the class of "7/24" ... LOL

It looks like the Disney folks are reviewing/releasing ROFRs on Tuesdays the past couple of weeks ...

AKV - 100 pts, all 2010 and 2011 banked, 100 pts coming Dec 2012 (and thereafter for the next 45 years ...) ... $72 pp (I didn't even negotiate - it was a good contract, and the timing was right ...)

Now we just have to wait to close, get our member # - and then try to book a long weekend to use those 100 2010 points this fall ...

Congrats -- very nice OKW contract. Let's all hope the monkey has had his fill!

I agree with the above analysis. If you look at the cost over the life of the purchase the PP is almost insignificant. I found a contract I wanted and bought it. I am now looking for a second (That was always the plan) and have started shopping. The way I look at it is if it the perfect contract UY etc buy it. If you are going to settle for something i.e. different UY stripped contract etc then deal. Not sure there is any logic in that but its the way I approach it. The biggest thing is if you got what you want enjoy it and be happy.

Nice to see that some OKW contracts are passing now. But I must resist temptation to look at any new contracts.

No it is not very common at all. I've put many offers in and most people will not even consider that low especially if they have all the extra points I paid in middle fifties for mine and 60 per points with ones that have three years of points

Congrats on passing!! I have one in for 54 a point with nearly as many points so mine will probably go through too
