Is it a good or bad idea to sell a contract with transferred points?

[dragonflymom]

I got my first DVC contract for SSR through resale and found out that I need more points so I decided to add on. But rather than do a simple add-on with the same UY, my husband and I decided to do a brand new contract with Disney to take advantage of the promotion going on at the time and also to secure a new UY that works better with our job and vacation schedules, especially with the new banking rule changes.

We have purchased enough points in the second contract (also SSR Dec. UY) that we want to sell our first contract (SSR Aug. UY). Not only have we used up all the current year points in the first contract, we have borrowed half the points from the next UY. Since stripped contracts tend not to sell in the resale market, I was thinking of transferring points from my second contract to my first contract so that when the new UY starts in August, at least the buyer has a full set of points. I would do this by transferring in March and immediately banking the points.

My questions are:

1. If I transfer 2007 Dec. UY points from my second contract to my first contract (Aug. UY), how long does the buyer have to use the transferred points if I immediately bank the transferred points? Is it till Nov. 30, 2008 (when original UY points expire) or it is Nov. 30, 2009 (since it's banked)?

2. Since transferred points don't show up on the DVC member website, do I need to worry that when contract ownership changes, everything will show up correctly for the new owner?

3. Is this too much for a new owner to grasp the various point expiration dates and I'm asking for trouble for doing this transfer thing? The simpler thing to do would be to just wait it out until my first contract reloads with new UY points in 09, but I want to avoid paying maint. fees if I can.

4. Should I just forget about the whole transfer deal and just try listing a stripped contract with a low per point price and hope for the best?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I've learned so much for these boards.

So, you have no points now and you will be getting about 50% of your points in August?

Correct. My first contract (SSR August UY) is a 100-point contract. It has zero 2007 points and only 49 2008 points. I would like to sell this contract during April/ May time frame. I was thinking it would be a more attractive contract for resale purposes if I could offer the buyer 100 points by transferring 51 points from my second contract (SSR December UY) to the resale contract. The 51 points would be 2007 Dec UY points.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

I would not do that if it were me.I have one for sell right now that does not have any 2008 and I sold on last yar that did not have nay either and it sold in no time.But it was BCV contract.
With yours being a 100 point contract I dont think you would have a problem selling it. I would just see what the average is selling for and price it a dollar or two pp less.

I would sell it as is. Transferred points retain the use year of the contract transferred in from, so that would complicate the issue and could confuse a new buyer.
