I love that you are interested in feedback. There are a few things.

Did you buy AKV because you wanted to own there or because you wanted to use them primarily as SAP (sleep around points)?

Did you pay asking or offer lower?

We bought at AKV, because it is by far my wife's favorite resort. We got our October use year BWV points from my parents who had owned there since 2000, but transferred the title to us after they decided they didn't want to go to Disney as much anymore.

So, I knew going into buying resale points I wanted an October use year to match out BWV points, and it took a while to find a reasonably priced AKV contract with an October use year. This one was priced at $96pp, but we offered $88pp and they countered at $90, which we thought was a solid middle ground

You want my honest opinion? Heck ya! Do it up big now! And if someone says it’s not a “deal”, you’ll still be living your best life! Let’s get it!

Since you knew that you love AKV I do think it is a very solid deal. Double kudos for making an offer and getting it at a lower price, triple kudos for sticking with your same use year.

I did post in the regular ROFR thread, but wanted to post in here as well to get some opinions. We just passed ROFR on our AKV contract that we paid $90 per point for and we are paying closing and dues for 2026 due to the October use year. This is our first resale contract as previously we just had direct points at BWV, so just trying to see people's opinion if we got a good deal or not? This will probably not be our last resale contract, so trying to learn from this first purchase before we dive into another one. Thanks!

Yes this is a good price, October uy is more rare. I would have tried to negotiate them paying caf or mf but if this was my first resale contract I would have gone for it regardless, there are people who paid more including myself on my first akv contract ($95) and I paid mf because we love the resort and wanted the points asap and no regrets here.
