BLT Resale...too low?

[jon185]

Hey all! We are trying to buy a BLT resale. I just wanted some of your opinions on if you think it will pass. It helps pass the time while I wait It's a 80 point contract that's priced at $105 a point. 5/2017 80/2018. I just have a sinking feeling it's not gonna pass due to most of the BLT listings being in the 110 range.

You may have a better chance than you think given virtually no 2017 points. That being said, they have been buying back a lot of BLT lately. What's the use year?

 

[marlouwrig]

We had a 100 point BLT contract taken by Disney in December at that price

 

[jon185]

Dec is the use year

Disney looks at more than price to determine whether or not to exercise ROFR. They've been know to take one at a higher price and then pass on a similar contract at a lower price. We can guess at some of the criteria, bur only Disney knows for sure. Good luck!

The price is probably lowest on the list of reasons they take a contract. I saw $65 SSR's pass while $82 contracts were taken. And those were in the same week, with the same use year, and with very similar point allocations.

Disney would make $65/point on that contract. Would they pass on $60/point? $40/point? If they can make money, they will. But that's not what makes them interested in a contract.

Almost no points until Dec 2018? I would sleep well at night anticipating it will pass. Good luck -- I think you're safe.

I too think it will pass ROFR, but would want to know why buy only 80 points?

I think you'll pass due to common UY and no real "bookable" 2017 points. The things that put you "at risk" IMO are 1) small contract (easy for Disney to sell as an add on) and 2)price PP.

Good luck- keep us posted on the waiting for ROFR thread.

Doing all the research here and on various sites it seems to be a great starting point for us. I'm sure in a couple of years I could always use more...I mean who wouldn't haha. But most of what I've read is the theme is "Buy where you want to stay" We love the location. We love the poly even more but with how much points are going for we could only get 50 or so. Making sure I stay in my budget and not having to finance any of it is also a big reason.

Agree with others. Expect it would pass due to only a few points until 2018.

 

[jon185]

Appreciate all the support! I'm a little more hopeful!

I'd chance it if it is perfect for you otherwise.

Disney can split larger contracts into small ones. I'd expect them to ROFR larger contracts more often since they tend to sell for less per point. Disney can also move around current year points, so that shouldn't be a factor for them, either.

There's some speculation that the legal unit influences Disney's decision. But, as I've said before, it's all based on data that we don't have. The single most important factor is probably if someone calls and asks to by the specific resort and use year direct while your contract is in their hands.

I wish we could also do that
