Rejected Offers Thread

[RMDVC24]

I went and found the contract before I made my initial comment on your offer. Your offer was very fair and if the seller comes crawling back you should offer a lower number.

That's the plan

Looking current and prior ROFR threads, it looks like the majority of contracts for BLT are in the $115-$130 PP range, with a few higher and lower. The lowest I saw was $107 PP on a 160 pt contract that had only 6 points left for 2024, and then was full for 2025 and 2026. As long as you’re somewhere in that neighborhood I wouldn’t consider it too low, but I’m pretty new here .

That was me! I honestly didn't think $107 would be accepted but it was a contract that was nearly a year old and my hope was they hadn't had much traction during that time. They accepted within hours of the offer. Partly lucky I think, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

I have been looking to add more BLT but inventory has decreased a lot recently, especially in my use year. Not sure my strategy/luck would work right now, but never hurts to try!

BLT 160 $139, offered $115, seller countered $135, I countered $120, seller firm no.

I've been aiming for around the same if not a little lower. Not a lot of inventory lately but I'm noticing the cracks in the walls starting with other contracts as we approach dues time. It'll happen...it'll happen.

I’m still very interested in the contract as it is fully loaded, but I just can’t get myself to pay $135 right now with so much up in the air about the refurb.

It's not my UY and so I had made an offer lower than yours when it first hit. I really can't take on a third UY but if somehow it worked out that I could get that around 110 I would've gladly taken it. Just being patient. I really do think it's coming. And also glad we don't have the same UY! lol

I have a couple other offers floating around right now and I’m in no hurry. There’s a 375 pt SSR for a different use year that I’m interested in as well. I normally don’t like large contracts but apparently I’m just all over the place.

That happens to all of us at times.

Well… what if you sell the points that expire in 5 months for $10-$12pp and then tell yourself it’s really $125pp with double points for 2025+

Yeah…I have seen BLT contracts go for amounts as low as originally offered, but that seems cheap to me for a fully loaded contract. Sometimes if it suits your needs, some compromise is needed. If is doesn’t suit your needs, find a different contract that does.

 

[Chili327]

It'll happen...it'll happen.

It will, just have to be patient and wait for your pitch.

FWIW, I paid $125 for 61 BLT pts. (earlier this year)

Did it have 2022, 2023, and 2024 points?

 

[Chili327]

None. 2025 only. (price tool says $117 now, not sure what it said when i bought it)

*Actually i just looked it up, i paid $120. (not $125)

haha yup I'm just fouling them off waiting for the fastball on the fat part of the plate.

BTW take it FWIW but the board sponsor is the only one not acknowledging or getting back to my offers. Even the one we all hate putting in low offers with is getting back to me rather cordially for a change. I guess she realizes how much flack shes gotten on these boards and she's changed her tune...a bit.

Right, so a contract with 2023 expiring and 2024 banked into 2025 would be worth more than a contract that is stripped of the previous years and current years points.

So, IMO we should tread carefully about counseling people to “wait for a better deal” and quoting only the price per point we paid.

I know that the potential buyers on here can’t give a ton of detail on active contracts they are bidding on, but we can be very specific about contracts that have already been purchased and are no longer on the market.

Agree.

Will add my own BLT data point: 160 points for $127.50/pt, with 9 pts from 2022, full 2023/2024/2025 points. Didn’t have to pay membership fees on the 2022 or 2023 points, so that was nice.

Could a better deal be found? Probably. But I didn’t feel it was a bad deal, either.

Yea, i guess when you put both of my statements together it does sounds like not great advice, but truthfully i was just saying that if he wants BLT at $110 he should hold off (or for $110 to be considered to start negotiating), to have a shot at even getting close, because right now $125 is tough.

On another note... (and separate post) i got mine for $125 earlier this year. (which turns out was actually $120) FWIW. lol

A fantastic deal!

I know that you already know this… but for the posterity of this thread:

There are some people who are budget constrained and so the ppp is critical.

Others don’t plan to go to WDW for another 2-3 years and so the banked and expiring points don’t hold as much value.

Some people only need a small contract at their favorite resort and others want a war chest of points they can use anywhere.

No right or wrong way to do it, IMO.

But, I would personally always go with a contract that has as many of its UY points as possible because those points have a lot of value.

You can rent them out for cash or swap them for things like park tickets. Or…. maybe you make a trip you weren’t planning on taking!

This is highly unprofessional. Regardless of what your offer is a response should be given. It doesn't take more than than 1 minute to respond with a "the seller has declined"
