We just passed ROFR, purchasing 400 BCV points at $94 per pt, with an October use month. The deal included 365 pts from 05, 400 banked 06 pts, 400 07 pts. The seller paid all closing costs. We used this board and other sources to choose our purchase. At $94 per point the cost was $36700.00, plus 07 yearly maintenance,total cost was $39,452.00.

We felt that 765 pts from 05 and 06 were worth at least $7650.00 and the yearly maintenance paid for those points at $1852.00 per year was worth $3704.00. Thus the value of our 05 and 06 pts and maintenance previously paid was $11,354.00. We subtracted $11354.00 from $39452.00 and calculated the actual cost to be $28,098.00. Finally, we divivded $28,098 by 400, which works out to be $70.24 per point, for BCV.

We are interested in the opinions of all the contributors to this board that educated us during this process.

Thanks !

I think ANY "triple" contract is a valuable item. A BC triple at $94, very good deal. Congratulations on a great contract!!!

Heck, I got banked '06 points on my BWV contract, and I am pleased as punch.

As I was comparing contracts, I will say that I only valued the banked points at $10, not $10 pp plus maintenance fees.

I realize you are not paying maintenance fees on these points but if as a non-member you were to rent points, you would be paying $10-$12 pp in most cases, not $10-$12 plus maintenance fees. Additionally, if you decide to rent points now that you have them, you would be likely to only get $10-$12 pp (possible less on the 2005 points, depending on when you close and are in the system).

Maybe someone who has more experience comparing resale contract values will chime in. I may not be looking at this correctly and am anxious to learn all I can about resales in case we add points.

I hope you enjoy your DVC membership.
 
Remember you will need to use those '05 points this year before September 30th. Your use year is October so your 05 points were banked into 06 use year which ends 9/30 so start using them right away at your NEW HOME! Congratulations!
