ROFR Thread April to June 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[hhisc16]

Wow, what a shortage of small contracts right now! We weren't expecting to get Hilton Head, however, we have contracts at Saratoga and Old Key West to secure our WDW time and realized that without owning at HH it's really hard to get in there for the summer months! These points will allow an occassional trip to HH which I have a feeling we will enjoy (perhaps waiting until the refurb is done though). They will also mix in with our others and push us into the 1-bedroom zone which will make reservations so much easier. I had to really consider the maintenance fee aspect but, it's a small contract and being a part of this club isn't cheap or necessarily for the faint of heart. Looking forward to more plotting and planning for the next trip!

"Hilton Head had two buy backs in April, which were the first buy backs for Hilton Head observed by DVCRM since August 2019"
I hope both of our small contracts pass ROFR for HH!

Was not aware they do that. I thought only if they have a buyer presently looking for a resale contract at that resort you own then they check inventory of ROFR pending and if they see a match they grab it.

There's never been any evidence that someone on a waitlist to purchase direct triggers DVC ROFR's a contract. Over the years some sat on waitlists for weeks, months or well over a year for DVC direct points.

Seems like DVC is staying away from AKV for some time

Thankfully this was within the 10 days. @pangygal, please remove this contract from the waiting list

What is the attraction of multiple small contracts vs. a larger one?

For us they give us more options at resorts we may stay at for a few days or week (HHI and VBR) and we plan 11 months out. We have 150, 100, 25, 25, 30, 50 and 50 mostly at OKW and can blend at 7 months.

We bought low (even recently) and flip occasionally when we see a decent profit. Heading into retirement, we are hedging the 2042 resorts as small contracts will always sell for a premium. If we need some money, we'll flip a contract without selling the farm LOL.

Will be joining in with you all again soon! Been a few years since I bought a contract, but it was time for more points (again)! Just waiting for confirmation on the contract being sent for ROFR and will then post the details.

I updated this earlier and then got distracted by a pair of Canada Geese trying to attack our cat through our condo window. So I’m now proclaiming the thread officially updated!

Sorry pangyal - I think I neglected to update the status on this one when I got the ROFR confirmation.
(I didn't see it in your updated list)
My sincere apologies

So happy here!!! Our first contract!
Today is my first day of vacation but we will just stay at home due to covid. This gives us hope that our next vacation we'll be going to our Disney home!! ❤

Thank you @pangyal for keeping this amazing thread! It helped me a lot during this period and to understand the resale process. I've seen it help many others with the anxiety and sometimes with the heartbreak. It's great coming back to share happiness.
Lots of pixie dust to all who are still waiting!!

I'm so sorry.

I also find it interesting that DVC now is delving into purchasing from international sellers. It adds a small complexity that I wouldn't think they'd want to ever bother with and for a long time they didn't.

So sorry you lost this small little gem of a contract. I hope you are able to find a new one to put into ROFR quickly. Disney's ROFR Monkey sure likes to keep us on our toes.

There's never been any evidence that someone on a waitlist to purchase direct triggers DVC ROFR's a contract. Over the years some sat on waitlists for weeks, months or well over a year for DVC direct points.

Am confused. Isn’t the whole point of ROFR to obtain the points and resell them for a higher price as direct?

Passed in 20 days.

I so want to use those 2020 points before July 31st.

Confirmed it has been sent for rofr today! Now the wait. Interesting the email from the broker said 45 days for rofr. here’s hoping for less.
