I'm with the people who say they'd buy less points. I purchased VGC for $96 direct in 2008. In 2010 we acquired more points resale for $82. In retrospect I should have grabbed a small BCV contract when prices were in the $80's but transferring points in has worked for us instead when we've wanted WDW since I haven't been able to justify to myself the resale or direct price for my other favorite property once it started skyrocketing.
Odds are good I'll directly add on a small contract at the DLH Villas when they open, how many points will depend on the price (eg I'm willing to pay 2023 prices, probably) ... and I'll be keeping an eye out for resale contracts for that property and VGC as well for a few years after, but given that VGC prices have gone nowhere but up, I'm cautiously optimistic that many more SoCal points on the market will create a softening of the resale market, but not holding my breath, if that makes sense.
