Resale Points Question

[Disney Fanatic]

Can anyone tell me, when buying resale if Disney looks at the bottom line price per point taking into consideration the entire offer.

Eg:

If price per point offer on Old Key West is $73.00 and buyer asks that seller pay all closing costs and any Maintenance Fees for previous years points, does this reduce the price per point in Disneys eyes?

I always thought they only look at the price per point?

Do they also take into consideration seller paying closing costs as well?

I hope I am making sense....

Thanks for an insight.

Disney looks at the entire package including price per point, any fees paid and by whom, banked points, borrowed points, etc. They determine a 'value' of the contract and then decide to ROFR or not based on that total package value.

I'm not sure if anyone can tell you absolutely how Disney exercises ROFR but it's widely believe that they look at the entire deal (price per point, maintenance fee, closing cost, etc.). There is an entire thread devoted to tracking ROFR results so take a look.
BTW, when I was purchasing my VWL resale contract back in August 2004, I was talking to my guide about whether to purchase direct or resale. I told her what I'd offered and she swore Disney wasn't going to let my contract through ROFR. Needless to say, I was a new VWL owner two weeks later.

Thanks for the quick responses.

I have looked at the page of ROFR's and I keep thinking that all the people who post there with low contracts have the least chance of passing.

Does anyone also think this?

Ultimately if you are offering a low price and you post it on the internet, I think Disney will have no option to take back that contract. If they don't see if posted, they may be more apt to let it slip through.

I don't think it would be hard for them to figure out which contracts belong to who?

Is this logical thinking????

You never know what will happen.

I made a lowball offer on my resale purchase and most people I spoke with said not to get my hopes up.

Low and behold about 3.5 weeks later it passed ROFR. I honestly think Disney was a little behind on reviewing their ROFR and just started pushing them through (I think they have to give a response in 30 days).

So if you have some time on your hands, It may not hurt to offer less then the asking price.
