Astonishing is the correct word. The math does not make sense on these contracts, yet people continue to buy. This reminds me a lot of the housing market from 2002-2007. A few years ago I was all over these boards saying the prices for DVC exceeded the value proposition. The prices then continued to rise. It's a little unbelievable, but eventually something is going to change. DVC pricing is, in my opinion, a bubble, and we all know what happens to bubbles. With the housing market it took a recession for the bubble to pop. In this case we have expiration dates. Regardless, we all know what is going to happen, it is only a matter of time.
I think the math does more or less still make sense. Just not as great as it was. The comparison is the DVC room vs an onsite cash price for a Deluxe room. In this case you should be comparing BCV to the costs of a room at BC. Those prices have risen right along with the contracts. If you plan to keep to the end and don't want to hope and wait and stalk for special prices it works. Eventually that sunk cost is going to have to go down and that time is coming soon because it won't compare. It's better to buy SSR and book at BCV of course. If you can.
