This thread can be an invaluable tool for buyers looking for some help when researching the most up-to-date prices for DVC contracts on the resale market, so I encourage everyone to post their contracts when they are sent to Disney, no matter if they are big, small, or in-between!
If you would like me to post your details, PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING LINK TO GENERATE YOUR DATA STRING OR I CANNOT ADD YOU (yes, I am being totally mean this round, as with all rounds!):
https://rofr.scubacat.net
Just plug in all of the relevant data and post the resulting string in its entirety.
*PLEASE join me in giving huge props to @ScubaCat who worked to develop this super useful tool!!!
If you would like to double-check your entries after using the tool, just know that I need your username at the front and all data in the following order:
DISname---Price per point-Total cost (Price per point x # of points + Maintenance Fees to be paid at closing + Closing fees)-# of points-Home resort-Use Year-# of points available first year (banked or not),# of points current year, # of points following year, and year after that, followed by Date Sent for ROFR.
Please include any other details such as whether the seller is splitting closing or paying current year's MFs. We assume that the buyer pays current year MF and closing, so no need to add those details in writing, only to the total amount.
Then come back and post whether you passed or not using the tool again so that your completed string looks like the sample below. Or I will chase you down! Just kidding. But, in the spirit of helping everyone who uses this thread as a resource, please do let us know whether or not Disney waived your contract so that the data is complete. Please do not simply post that you passed, as I cannot comb through the thread to find your contract.
Sample:
pangyal---$144-$33296-219-VGF-Aug-113/14, 219/15, 219/16, 219/17- sent 8/24, passed 9/16
Please note that I cannot add you if you are missing any of the above details or if your contract has not yet been sent.

usually no one at the resort is buying such a large contract so they don't need the inventory and will only buy back to maintain a floor price.
Congratulations!!!
definitely debatable but I see the sweet spot at 125 - 200 points. There are fewer buyers looking for 300+ point contract since the purchase amount from the resort is over $50K. I am sure there could be some analytics run on this theory with seeing which contracts were taken by ROFR and how many point there were. In general they are not taking to hold inventory but to resell to another member.
Thanks! Excited to own at VGF for the first time!
The contract wouldn't need to be resold as a large contract though. That 310 points could make up a few new contracts.
Interesting point, so it's based on general demand for points sold by Disney. Really hard to understand the rhyme or reason why some contracts are taken and others are not. I would love to hear from others who know.
People come up with all sorts of theories as to why some get through and others don't. One person will say that loaded contracts are more likely to get taken back and then the next will say that stripped contracts are more likely to be taken back. There used to be discussion about certain UY being taken back but now they can change that as well so it really doesn't play a role. Then there's discussion about whether the unit that that points are from may impact whether or not the contract gets taken. For the most part they just want the cheapest contracts at resorts that they have demand for direct sales. There are outliers though so then we're left wondering.
DVC can divide large contracts into smaller ones.
Congrats on finally getting one. I am glad most people got their BLT contracts. Given the price needed to get it I am glad I switched and grabbed Aulani instead.it’s definitely been a rollercoaster for all of us buying BLT
Aside from the occasional outliers, I think you’re right regarding Disney’s aim to get the cheapest contracts at resorts where they have demand for direct sales. Nick from DVC Resale Market remarked in a recent podcast that their main motivating factor in ROFR was price. The plus for DVC members is that one result of this strategy is that it helps maintain the value of points we already own.
