Thank you! My first OKW points. I had 3 taken last year in the 80-84 price range. I thought this one would be taken for sure

From what I read nothing was taken last month.Where else do you own?

we see some ROFR movement this week!!

 

[E2ME2]

I'm still seeing the listing for the contract I acquired, on the Fidelity site as "Pending" !
I wonder how often they purge their site of old contracts?
It's misleading to use the number of listings there as a gauge. Does that happen at all the other resale sites ??

I know that the TSS keeps it sale pending until the deposit is received.

They seem to do that a lot. I made an offer on one just Friday that was on DVC Shop listed as "new" and the lady responded the next day that she had just finalized a sale on it (the agreement anyway, it hasn't been to ROFR but at that point in my mind it should be considered unavailable as either the buyer or DVC will be taking it).

It's making shopping tough because I hate to make more than one offer at a time. I sure don't want to end up getting two offers accepted because I just can't buy that many points at once, and I wouldn't feel right about bailing on an offer I make. I'm sure the sellers wouldn't appreciate that either.

The time between making an offer and finding out it is already taken puts me at a disadvantage on other contracts that I am holding off on making an offer on. I'm on my third offer in 2 days and the ones I like seem to go pretty fast.

Yes, this whole resale experience has been eye opening! I am glad to have the additional points at half the price of going direct, but the process is definitely not as smooth. All those superfluous contracts just clutter up the real listings, and make it harder to track. We almost had 2 offers extended at the same time, as the broker's site we used did not update in real-time, so we were not sure if they had received our first offer, or if some one else had offered ahead of us. It handicaps your negotiating position, and that may be why it's structured that way...

First contract for us. Super excited to be part of the DVC family.

 

[Lorana]

Yup, I have a problem... But we wanted to add some more points and keep dues low, and this was the right balance of price, low dues, and loaded for 2020 UY.

[tawi]

Anything yet???

Have you heard anything? I see 2 people said they passed today so far...but I was hoping for an email myself!

 

[Anuhea35]

From what I read nothing was taken last month.Where else do you own?

I have AKL and a small one at AUL. Now adding OKW to my list of home resorts. I live really close to Aulani and wasn't planning on buying any AUL points until a sub contract popped up and I couldn't resist

 

[eMoneyBug]

We should have gone a little lower as the contract is stripped. But we thought an alright price at time until I looked at the boards. There is one for $75 a point for Aulani. What a great price if it passes. We also have a delayed closing until they use their points for 2021 this fall. So do you think ROFR will be delayed also? This is our add on, we bought our 1st contract a year ago. : ). We should have bought sooner.

if you haven't paid deposit yet, back out, your deal in my opinion is way too much $$$

 

[macman123]

You have 10 days from signing the contract to back out.........

 

[holyrita]

Have you heard anything? I see 2 people said they passed today so far...but I was hoping for an email myself!

Nope, nothing here yet I'm a week behind you though, so you should definitely hear before me!

The two that passed today were approved at 3 weeks (submitted 4/20) so hopefully you'll be hearing soon!!

It appears we have gone from a 2 week ROFR turn around to 3 weeks. I wonder if that has to do with an influx of contracts being submitted (or so it appears based on these boards!), a smaller number of non-furloughed employees, or both??
