ROFR Thread April to June 2018 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[disneyeveryyear]

Their best guess was $95pp was the zone where it would get dicey. I mean, this all depends on how many points are on the contract, if it’s loaded or stripped, etc. So I wouldn’t take that as a hard and fast rule. I was negotiating the one I found, and was wondering if it was worth countering the sellers counter to my original offer. That’s why I called them. I’ve seen SSR pass at less if you go back to the previous ROFR thread, but all you have to do is follow the trend in this thread to see that’s much more the exception now.
Also, SSR is available direct for $150pp, as I called to ask about it. No wait list when I called, she just asked if it was available would I be interested in buying. I said yes, she put me on hold, came back, and magically I could buy Feb, March, or April UY.
Just remember, they can’t buy EVERYTHING back, and this is just a small sample of what passes or gets taken.

Thank you for the info. I had one broker who was pushing hard for me to not make an offer (pay full price) on a $103 contract saying that DVC would buy it back if I offered $97. I will keep my fingers crossed for my $100/pt.

When I saw the listing for the contract I made an offer on, I clicked on the link to see that they had an offer, but would accept full price offers, so I pulled the trigger and did it. For a total extra cost of less than $1,000 more than what I would have been offering, I didn't want to mess around with counter offers, other offers, etc.

Truth be told, I’m tired of working for Disney for free. :/ From their standpoint, it is a brilliant business idea. Have consumers be the negotiators and pay them nothing for finding and negotiating these deals when they take them away. As the negotiating consumer, it is a complete waste of time, especially considering I get absolutely no compensation for it and am out almost a month of my time. Am I bitter that they keep taking mine? Yes!

They’ve now taken 4 of my contracts.

Wow, 4 taken?! I think I would give up by then. That's really frustrating.

If you don't mind me asking, what did the purchase price end up being? I don't see it on page 1.

Accepted offer price was $85/point. It’s in the Jan-Mar ROFR.

While I am a proponent of a buyer paying only what the buyer sees as fair value for the right contract (as opposed to compromising to try to buy before a trip or to pass ROFR), it’s important to put the savings into perspective. Over 36 years, saving $5 on a 200pt SSR contract is about $28/year. Is it worth all the negotiating headache and ROFR risk? For some it might be.

I agree. Also, the spread is even less with the smaller contracts. $5pp for a 200pt contract is $1000 but only $500 for a 100pt contract. I’m a big proponent of looking at ALL the costs and not just ppp. Lately, I’ve been giving in on closing costs and MF’s when I feel like it’s a good ppp. However, if the ppp is high, then I might ask for closing costs or MF’s to be paid by seller. Happy negotiating everyone!

I am at WDW for my birthday. I received my email yesterday at 5:41pm when I was in that lull before I could exit the boat on it’s a small world. We were waiting and I knew so many people had passed yesterday so I decided to check my email one last time and there it was!

I am using The Timeshare Store. They set me up with the Mason Title and Escrow Company. I received an email today saying that I would get my documents via email between 5/10 and 5/20 and that we are on pace to close on or before 6/8. Does that seem about right? I’ve never done this before.

So excited to be joining everyone in DVC and to be able to call AKV home!

Contratulations and Happy Birthday

April UY.
I’m still hoping to see a AKV December UY make it through!
I lost an AKL last month.
I’m day 19 on another AKL December UY contract now. Not optimistic

My April UY passed last month almost same for money and points. Maybe April is a lucky time

We’re newbies! Been working on this deal since last August! The seller sent their documents to First American on Friday so we’re waiting for closing date so we can get a membership number & points into our account. Any idea as to when that may happen? We’re chopping at the bit to reserve something early Aug. We want to add a 100-150 point contract from Disney for the benefits.

Good luck to everyone as we start a new week tomorrow

I’ll be taking a break from constant email checking. I’m a teacher and we start PARCC (standardized testing) tomorrow. Ugh. 3 1/2 hours Mon-Thurs of monitoring students. We aren’t allowed electronics, papers, etc. we can do literally nothing but stare at students and the walls. I don’t know if the forced time away from the email and here is a good or a bad thing!
