My Aulani resale experience

[frank808]

This is the weird part. Somehow the seller was able to get back the contract and wanted full asking price a few weeks later. Seller must be a Disney employee or something. There is some funny business going on.

Employees cannot sell their contracts on the open market. There is a clause that they must sell it back to disney for what they purchased the contract for. They do get a percentage off of the going price. Also disney employees can get fired for renting out points from their contracts bought with employee discount.

About the sale stuff -- this is not true. My brother bought a SSR contract via resale from a former employee. He got a great price (but still average for SSR resale). We found out b/c the agent told us, and because a year later he accidentally received a Disney letter to CMs regarding their DVC contracts. Several people received these on the DIS, actually.

In November, we bought a contract 320 Mar UY 300 '11 points, 0 '12 pts. $25,000 plus MF for 2013 Subsidized due. If my math is right, we paid $78/pt. Made through ROFR no problem. It did take about 3 mos to close due to Hi rules I assumed. We bought on Ebay, seller chose Title services. As far as I was aware, no delay on anyone's part.

We are looking to add more points - and found one and going through the process. We did not offer more than $88. Now I don't know should I be worried or not. Since they didn't rofr our first round, we were safe to assume they weren't buying Aulani.

It took a lot of convincing with hubby that we should buy more. If we don't get it, I'll be really bummed after all the hard work. It's going to be a tough couple months waiting...sigh
