I was worried about yours! So glad you passed too. Welcome Home!

Lol, yes it would've been awkward if one of ours passed and other didn't! I'm still (very nicely) surprised.

I emailed broker to see if they heard anything yet and they have not. So that's a bad sign. Like Texas was, I am feeling pretty sure the mouse is taking it.

Well friends, this is where I leave you. We are honestly relieved because of unexpected home expenses that have arisen lately, so the extra cash is going to reduce a lot of stress. We are taking an indefinite break from DVC purchasing. We have those extra VGF points now, and that is good enough for us. I'm not ruling out purchasing again in the future, but it won't be any time soon. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

I started thinking you were going to get this one too, they certainly waited until the bitter end. I'm glad it worked out the way you wanted. Good luck

Wow congrats on the turnaround. I'm truly happy for you, but jealous as I have an offer in on adding to AKV submitted 4/21 and still haven't heard.

Agreed! Very happy, but mildly panicked that we didn't hear anything today. Ours was submitted 4/24.

 

[Spork24]

Agree! Hoping for all the best for both of us. It took fancy talking for me to get my husband to do resale, but the Contemporary is his favorite and our daughter and SIL are trying to get pregnant so I think this will be a good fit. Told him we could do an add on later.

You guys will love owning at BLT. We have 400 points already and just signed our add on contract today!

Yeahhh! LOVE this contract... solid price, no dues at closing, but we get 89 points to use/rent out before December 1.

Or bank the 89 2016 pt.s into 2017 & use for a trip 12/1/17 - 11/30/18.
Congrats.

Oh man, fingers crossed for you!

Congrats.

Points have already been banked, so it's "use em or lose em" time. Otherwise, that definitely would have been the way to go!

Thanks to my recent promotion bought a 2nd contract to surprise DW for her 50th birthday coming up in July:

Skier_Pete---$105 - $8364 - 75 pts - BWV - Feb, 0/'17,53/'18, 75/'19, sent to ROFR 5/5

Seller pays dues for '18 points used, cost of which I subtracted from the cost already. I am not thrilled about the price that these contracts are going for, I personally would've rather gotten a cheaper contract or more points at another resort, but DW dream is to be able to spend time at F&W staying at an Epcot resort, so we'll be fighting the bookers at 11 months out. UY isn't perfect, but will work fine for traveling in October (it's in the last 4 months but just barely, so anything cancelled before 30 days would be in the 8 month window) and I was fine with no 2017 points as we wouldn't use the points until October 2018.

Congrats! I might actually be at BWV at the same time as you! Going either October or November of 2018.

Nice deal! Please format that with the link in post #1 so it can go on the list I have to get back to SAB now...

Small BWV contracts have held their value over the years. IMO it's a fair price even being somewhat stripped. Otherwise, they probably would've listed it even higher, as i would if selling one of mine there.

You tend to feel a bit differently when looking @ it as a owner/seller vs a buyer.

Good luck booking Oct. We go the first week of the month every year, stay in standard studio which is truly a difficult grab. last few years I've had to walk reservations when i had enough points or hoped for waitlist to come thru. A few years was shut out completely. It's the nature of the beast at times.

I though I formatted it right, but maybe I was a little off - is this better.

Yes I've been watching pricing for a while, and I don't think I could do much better from a pricing point of view. I considered offering a $3 lower price, but I was thinking wasn't worth letting it go, it was near ideal contract for what we wanted. (I wanted between 50 and 75 points, but near 50 points would be forced to always work for getting standard studios.) While I would prefer not to have to stress about getting those, we may need to the first year as we are hoping to go with another couple and likely will want to get two studios.

Most frustrating about a new buy like this is likelyhood that we are looking nearly 18 months after purchase before we are likely to use it.
