DVC and free dinning

[connie1042]

Someone just offered to sell us some points for a vacation we have planed in Sept. 2008. What would be a good deal. Also We are booked at ASmu suites for Sept. 22-27 with free dinning. Is it true you can not get free dinnning if you are in DVC?

Based on prices people are asking here on the DIS Rent/Trade board:

For a September reservation,

A 'good deal' would be less than $10/point.
A 'fair deal' would be $10-11/point

A 'bad deal' would be anything purchased on e-Bay.

It seems to me you need to evaluate the difference. If you are happy with the ASmu - you get free dining and the whole vacation is terribly affordable. That sounds like a great deal.

If the "someone" and you set a price, then you add the cost of the dining plan on top of that - you'll figure out what the cost delta is - it will almost certainly be more expensive than your ASmu room. But, you may find that you have the opportunity to stay at a resort you've always wanted to stay at. You'll get a pool slide. Depending on the DVC resort, you could get a Savannah full of animals out your window, a mini waterpark at your resort, or walking distance to Epcot. That may or may not, be worth the difference in price to you.
