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

[zgirlz]

Well we are going to try again, same OKW, 220 pts. Contract, 212 pts. bankable from 2012, full 220 pts. for Oct. UY 2013 and forward. Buyer paying all costs! I think, from all the reading I have been doing by your post that keep submitting till we get lucky. That still will not keep us from going to Disney, just owning till we find the right contract.

We are trying, sent in the contract today:
BLT 100 points March UY. 100 banked from 2012 and 100 going forward. $96 per point, and buyer pays MF for 2013 and closing costs.

Good luck! I just started looking and that sounds just like what I am looking for. We want 100 points at either BLT or BWV.

Here's hoping you find one that meets your needs!

I'm also noticing that many of the contracts that have been recently picked up had banked points. I wonder if that is part of it.

Possible...

My contract passed ROFR yesterday, BWV Feb UY 230pts, $52.17/pt, buyer pays admin, seller pays closing. No points until 2014! I guess that's not a nice price consider no points till 2014, but I can't see myself taking a vacation to WDW soon, and since I am from overseas I thought it might be a hassle to try and rent out and then collect money when I don't have a bank account in US.

Submitted on 14 Feb and found out yesterday I passed ROFR.

Congrats! I don't think that is a bad price at all. We are closing now on a similar contract with a FEB SSR contract with no points until 2014. Similar reasons that we didn't need points until late 2014 and didn't want the hassle of renting or paying dues this year. I think your price reflects all that, plus you don't have the added stress of waiting for your points to load to book a trip soon.

At this point in the year, I also think there is a big difference in value for a FEB UY contract with no 2013 points and a DEC UY contract with no 2013 points.

Thanks puffkin... yes no stress from waiting to get the points loaded. Didn't think of that.

I am at day 31 and never heard about ROFR on my 210 OKW April Use Year. Finally I called my sales rep and she is out but someone else is helping me. He said an e-mail usually gets sent. He checked and couldn't find anything. Apparently Disney has not gotten back to them yet on this contract.

I hope it passes or I have to start all over after waiting the full 30+ days!!

Getting closer to my first contract. I'll outline my complete timeline after my membership card is in my hands, but here is my contract and ROFR info:

170 pts SSR - Feb UY
$49 per point
Resale - Fidelity
'13 Points: 0
'14 Points: 170
Seller pays '13 MF
Buyer pays Closing and Fidelity Admin Fee

Sent to ROFR: 3/4/13
Passed ROFR: 3/8/13

DVD must be in hurry to clear out these resale purchases!!

Well, you know they say that if something sounds too good to be true.....

Talked to Fidelity today, and they said that they were in error telling me my SSR contract passed ROFR on 3/8. My seller had a second contract for sale at the same time (which Puffkin happened to purchase shortly before I bought mine), and it was THAT contract that passed ROFR, not mine. Mine is still with Disney. Therefore, I probably have a couple more weeks before I hear. No harm done, but I won't be very happy if I don't pass. I'm not getting any points until Feb '14, so I'm hoping I'm OK, even with that price of $49. Sorry for the false alarm. For those considering Fidelity, don't let this error scare you off, they've been otherwise very good to work with.

Back to the drawing board for me. The Timeshare Store got me the message that Disney is exercising it's ROFR. So, I waited 31 days and had to push to find an answer and got nothing in the end. I am bummed. My specifics were:

210 OKW April Use Year $55 point, all 2013 and forward. No banked points.

I am putting an offer in for OKW today. After reading the boards lately I am not getting my hopes up at all.

 

[Thumper4me]

DisneyDiana,

Good luck to you!! What are your specifics - Use Year, Points?

That is a bummer! I am really trying to not get my hopes up I have a similar contract to yours except BWV. I think if the BWV does not pass I may step back and let the dust settle then start looking in a few months - although i am not a very patient! Good luck!

100 pt OKW September UY $63 no 2012 pts 100 Sept
2013 and forward

passed ROFR yesterday. We paid a little more but it came through.

I paid 69 for Oct UY and 100 points although it had 140 points- 40 2011 banked and 100 2012 which i needed to book a vacation now. i was going with or without it so those points were worth $1500 to me. I was comfortable with it and I floated through ROFR. Sometimes it's just easier.

Wow, DVD is on a serious ROFR rampage if they're calling in contracts with no banked points at this price range. So sorry to hear the news.
