Please don't be mad ......... Not so good news ........

[* Potential DVC'er *]

Firstly, I want to say one thing- I've only been on these boards a short time - but you people are incredible. Thanks for all your help and for just plain being there for someone when they need to "talk".

Secondly, I have to say that Jackie Apetz at "atimeshare.com" is the most wonderful person alive in this world to date ........ and please please please if anyone is thinking of buying a resale - please call her at 1-888-345-2622 or visit the website (sorry if I did something wrong by posting her phone number???)

Thirdly, while I "thought" my husband and I reached an amicable agreement and while I "thought" he was going to let us go through with this deal - our offer was accepted - and unfortunately my husband made me "decline".

I feel horrible, I feel just absolutely horrible that I put the Seller through this - and that I've put Jackie through this. Because I am serious! I am dead serious! And I specifically told Jackie to let the Seller know - THIS GIRL IS SERIOUS! Now I feel like a big horse's "" you know what ""!

However, I "thought" my husband finally was serious too - but he is just too worried about his job, the economy, and the huge chunk of change (purchase price) that this would cost. He's not listening to my reasoning of "thinking outside of the box" - and I'm not going to do something against his will and have him mad at me for a very long time.

It was like he almost thought in his mind that we wouldn't get the price we were asking and so he thought we'd really not have to go through with it .... and then when it was time to face the music he backed down.

Who knows what the future holds - maybe there'll be more resales in the Spring .... maybe not ... maybe the prices will be lower - maybe they'll be higher - we don't have current access to a crystal ball ....

I still want to keep visiting the boards - and believe me - I'm so looking forward to changing my name FROM "potential DVC'er" to something to the effect letting you all know I've came HOME!

Thanks again everyone ....

Not to worry. There will ALWAYS be resales available. Plenty of deals will be awaiting you. DVC membership is a BIG financial commitment, not just in terms of initial equity, but also regarding annual dues. I wouldn't jump in unless you BOTH feel that your fiscal outlook is solid. If you still wish to visit WDW, there are PLENTY of low budget avenues available to you.

Happy Holidays

I'm so sorry for you. I've been reading all your posts with interest because DVC is not my DH's idea - its mine so our situations are similar. I have spent the last 2 years trying to convince him this is right for us. At this time (crossing fingers) we don't anticipate losing our jobs but like you said you don't know what the future may hold. DH has said if he likes Hilton Head then we can buy in there so I am figuratively holding my breath for his reaction to the resort.

Again, I just wanted to say how sorry I am that this did not work out for you at this time. If they awarded Disney contracts on sheer effort, you'd have a 900 point contract (at least). I hope there is a DVC contract sometime in your future. Take care!

Do your marriage a favor and buy when you are both ready. We looked at DVC about 3 years ago and I was interested - hubby wasn't so we dropped it. Last year we looked again and this time we were both interested as it has become evident that we travel to WDW alot and plan to continue doing so. Three years ago it wasn't obvious that that was going to be the case. Now we are both very happy with the decision.

Does this mean that you don't have to agree to the big V now?

Let not go back there guy - no more discussion on medical procedures on this board.

 

[Beverly Lynn]

I'm not a guy. and since the other posts weren't deleted I figured it was ok to ask!

 

[TnRobin]

Sorry, if my "guy" reference offended you Beverly Lynn. I apologize. Let me rephrase.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Lets not start the discussion about selective medical procedures here. If the other post had continued it would have been edited and moved. If has no relation to Disney Vacation Club. This type of discussion is better suited on a non-topic board.

Beverly Lynn, although your post did prompt my response, you were not the "cause." It was intended to be a friendly reminder to remain on topic to everyone.

 

[Beverly Lynn]

OK!

Sorry to hear that now is not the right time to purchase DVC. It took DH 3 years to get the nerve to do it. We found a resale and used The Timeshare Store (Shontell Crawford) and I am telling you, he gave her a run for her money with his multitude of questions etc.....

The timing was right for us in Oct. 2000, now when will the timing be right for an add-on??? Shontell called a few times but the timing wasn't right and I think my DH was shaking when he heard her and ask for me!!!!

Good luck in the future. At least now you are both educated on DVC!!!

IMO, Bevery Lynn just said what the rest of us were thinking .

Heck, I was thinking that Potential DVC'er might want to go ahead and have another child ... then they'd have too many kids for most of the Disney resorts and the would have to buy at DVC to get a 2 BR .

Seriously, I wish you luck in the future. My DH was ready to buy into DVC when we was ready and nothing was going to change his mind until then. But ... he made that crystal clear at the time. Unfortunately, your hubby's (in)actions made you feel like a fool .

While I'm sure the agent felt bad about losing a potential commission, it seems obvious that you did not mislead her or the potential seller. These things happen...I'm sure you're not the first to "back out at the altar".

Don't feel too bad....DVC is here for a long time. Things may change where your DH feels more comfortable with this sizable investment.

The hardest part for me was convincing my DW that DVC was on the necessity list, not the luxury list!! Once she understood that simple principle, the rest was easy.

Good luck to you....come back often.

Sorry to hear about the change in plans. My DH and I discussed DVC once, then waited until 2.5 years later to purchase. The price had gone up, OKW was gone, and no more free park passes. However, we had other priorities when we first entertained the idea, so waiting was the only choice for us. A happy marriage is more important(just don't tell my hubby I feel that way...he is convinced I stay married to him to protect my interest in the BWV!) I wish you luck, and want to thank you for making me realize how blessed I am...4 children, DVC, and that other thing we can't talk about . By the way, that other thing was a great investment...probably the biggest factor in being able to finally afford DVC...just a thought.

So sorry for you, but I can understand reluctance at this time. We waited 4 years after we decided we wanted to do DVC. Of course, now we wish we would have done it right away, but you have to feel completely comfortable, and it isn't worth a conflict in your marraige.

I hope this doesn't mean that you won't be visiting here any more!!
