Broker claiming info on DIS is incorrect

Oh, she didn't say it directly to me. She commented in a DVC Facebook group, so she was indirectly saying it to however many of the 100k members in the group that saw the post.

Obviously we know which company this is, right? That company has a very high opinion of itself and brokers working there seem like they will do anything to undermine people’s self confidence as buyers and sellers. They are using behavioral psychology. Buyers and sellers have lists upon lists on the dis of buyers’ experiences, but that company wants to spread the idea that what you see with your own eyes isn’t real. It’s the old, “Don’t believe the evidence right in front of you, listen to me instead.” This is a trend in our society right now. People need to start relying on their own analytical skills and stop listening to people who call themselves “experts.” As others have said, all the data is on the comptroller sites as well.

I actually don’t know.

Question? How do I find out which HALF I'm in.

The whole point of the data compilation is to gauge what the going rate is, what DVD seems to be snagging in ROFR, and what the current timeline is from offer to points in account. DIS posters get nothing out of lying. Why do it then? We paid a good chunk more for one contract because it had not hit the market yet, was small, same UY and an OKW 2057 which can be a difficult find in resale. Still was over $1200 cheaper than direct! I don’t need points soon so, I’m good waiting. How did I know true market pricing? I referred to the thread on each and every offer. I’m sure a few might exaggerate their buy or sell but, I think the thread and tool are fantastic as is.

Yes I am not saying anything needs to change, and I think the vast majority of post are accurate. But we also can't be naïve and think people don't lie on the internet just to one up other people. It happens all over and there is nothing to gain from it but it happens. IMO the best use of the thread is to see what the "average" recent selling price of a contract is and get a feel for what level Disney is grabbing contracts at.

There have been attempts to circumvent the boards rules and guidelines regarding discussing brokers and therefore I am shutting this down.
