Finishing up my direct add on (already booked all those points) and still waiting for ROFR on the resale.

I hope to God I pass!
Well my above contract got pulled by DVD on 2/19. No surprise there.
Just went to ROFR on a new contract:
OKW (Apr), $61, 150 '13 pts, all 14 pts, buyer pays closing and mf (sub 3/7)
I know it's high for OKW, but I really like the UY and pts. The waiting game begins....

You must be getting close to the 30 days on that ROFR decision, no?
As far as the banked points go, I think Disney probably either adds them to the pool of one-time use points that MS sells to members or more likely, uses them to reserve villas and sends those over to CRO/DRC to be offered for cash to the general public. Proceeds go to Disney. (It is possible that some of the banked points may expire without being used if there is no availability left for points).I'm curious, when Disney picks up a loaded contract with banked points, where do the points go? It's not like they give them to the person buying a direct contract. Is my logic wrong?

Just realize only a small percentage of the people purchasing are posting on these boards. Also, some people may feel "embarrassed" to post if they didn't get an awesome deal for whatever reason. So the prices on this site are a bit skewed. It does go to show you that these prices are possible and what does get through ROFR. No matter what you end up at, it's still a lot cheaper than direct!
I would agree with the sentiment exactly. I talked to my broker before I submitted any offers just to get some averages and the numbers that people post out here are not the "ordinary". She pulled up a spreadsheet with averages (I was interested in SSR) and the average selling point for their contracts at SSR was something to the tune of $64 a point. I didn't pay that, but, that was the average on their numbers. I had no pressure to put out anything close to that... So never feel bad about the luck that some people have had.

I wanted to throw out there, if you want to see what folks are spending in general, you can pull all the purchases and the ROFR notices from the Orlando Comptroller's site...
