Question for people that have sold your DVC points?

[NH Disney Mom]

Just wondering how long it took to sell once your points were actually listed and up for sale?

It took about 2 months to sell and then another 2 months to get the money. It all depends on your asking price as right now it is a buyers market and prices are great if you are buying, not so good if you are selling

It took about 2 months for us also (Oct - Dec 2009). We were able to get our money fairly quickly because Disney exercised their ROFR.

If you decide to sell, I would list with both The Timeshare Store and Resales DVC. The more people that see the listing, the better chance of finding a buyer.

I didn't know you could list with both, we are currently listed with the TS Store.

It also seems to depend on the size of the contract-larger, longer. Our first contract, only 25 points, we got a buyer the first day. Our second contract, for 150 points took around 3 months. It may also depend partially on the resort, but both our contracts were from the same resort, VWL.

Signed the listing agreement and faxed it to The Timeshare Store at 2:00 p.m. on a Friday.

Got a call at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday that they had a buyer who would pay full asking price.

Got a call at 1:30 on Sunday that the buyer had backed out.

Got a call at 11:30 on Monday that they had another buyer who would pay full asking price. This one didn't back out.

Got my money 37 days after I signed the listing agreement.

My price was not low. Actually TTS thought it was too high. They warned me that I would have to lower it or pull the listing if I didn't get a buyer. But it was a small contract which was not stripped, and I think that's why people wanted it.

You can list it with more than one place (if you take a look at your contract with the TS Store, it is in there). It will give the listing more exposure - especially if you are in a hurry.

What others have said about # of points and price is true...we had a 150 point contract. Good luck selling!
