I said we weren’t going to buy more points and we would just get transfers to make it work while the kids are so little but...

I've decided to rescind my offer on the following:
ILoveMyDVC---$131-$10670-75-OKW(E)-Sep-0/19, 37/20, 75/21, 75/22- sent 4/9

I was 8 days post signing the contract.

good move. $131 is too high for OKW-E.

Bummer! Makes me nervous for my $150/pp loaded BLT contract...seems like its in iffy territory based on what I'm seeing

The bad news:
lovethesun12---$145-$15745-100-BLT-Mar-0/20, 100/21, 100/22, 100/23- sent 3/25, taken 4/15

The good news: Decided a Disneyland trip for 2022 makes more sense than WDW. Since we won't be using points for that I have lots more time to hang out in this thread as I possibly continue to look for another contract =)

I’m seeing some really great deals on this thread! Where are most of these found? I can’t seem to get anything close to that on the major DVC resale sites?
Can you guys please share your master DVC tricks with newbies like myself?

I did $142pp on 220 points 0/2020 0/2021 220/2022

Yours passed or got taken?

 

[Huxknits]

I am nervous about my SSR contract at $105 per point 220 points. Getting through.

They haven’t taken many SSR contracts lately and none that high. I passed a few weeks ago with $101/160 points, I was nervous too naturally but I think you should be fine!

I’d definitely keep scouting for a back up contract as I had two BLT $150 pp taken. for you!

 

[kandlsutton]

Here we go again! Not too worried about not passing as I caved on the higher price per point since the contract is loaded and the right size for us right now. At least it isn’t quite at VGF prices.

kandlsutton---$175-$14265-75-PVB-Dec-75/20, 75/21, 75/22- sent 4/16

No master tricks here. I’ve only bought two contracts direct before this. We thought about adding on resale in spring 2020. I made two offers (both of which were higher than this offer) and neither was brought to the seller. I gave up. We thought about it again this winter and opted to just get point transfers. I wanted a 2042 resort and love the vibe of OKW, as well as the huge rooms. I made an offer and they accepted. Luck of the draw.

I think the biggest thing is to stalk the websites and be ready to pounce if you see something you like. I happened to see the perfect contract 5-10 minutes after it was posted. My offer was accepted and the listing was taken down fairly quickly (not every site does this - some are left pending for months). Most people would have never known the listing existed. The good ones are going to get snatched very quickly, especially in this market.

Yeah patience is the name of the game with DVC resale it seems... Those deals make it worth it though

I'm glad to see some sensibly-priced contracts (the SSR ones) being sold!

For us, we overpaid for our first resale contract but we didn’t mind as it was a small contract so not a lot of overall impact. When we decided to buy another resale a month later, we were very specific in matching use year, wanted a longer term (SSR, AKV or CC only) and only wanted to spend $x. We made offers on a few that declined to even counter, didn’t care, we knew what we wanted. Finally got a counter and agreed where we decided our top price per point was (+$5 per point above initial offer). It doesn’t bother me if people talk about our low offer, you never know who may say yes

 

[MissPixieDreamer]

After months just lurking on the ROFR and Closing time threads to understand the process of resale, I finally found a listing that I felt was good enough that I wanted to make an offer... not stripped, points from 2020 and our favorite resort... Beach Club!!! I've read discussions about the advantages of SAP points at SSR or AKV, BW vs BC... but in the end... it was the only resort that captured our hearts enough to make us want to become members. At this price point and considering the resort... I'm not worried about ROFR, but I had to share this here to contribute, because everyone who posted here helped me a lot. Thank you all! I'm very excited and can't wait to finally become a DVC member!

I offered $20 pp less than asking on my VGF contract that passed ROFR and closed yesterday. My offer was $5 more than the one Disney had taken a couple weeks before. I expected the seller to counter as I had been stalking the sites for those two weeks trying to find another VGF contract. I had alerts set and I saw it when it was first listed, so I was surprised that the seller didn’t counter. I’m definitely not a master, but it seems like you just have to be ready to make an offer as soon as you see something that you want. If you find a motivated seller (like I did), then you can get a better deal.

Just signed an addendum. Apparently some detail in the contract was wrong (sellers had 2 similar contracts) - all the details are the same, though. Disney has been re-sent the contract with the addendum so - still waiting.

I'm so impatiently awaiting the points!

Question for the experienced resale buyers: Does DVD's ROFR "clock" reset due to the addendum? Or would they still have the original 30 day ROFR from the day the contract was originally submitted?

I'm impatiently waiting for this to clear so I can book!

Typically no. But Disney can take more than 30 days. They have to be given at least 30 days before you close the contract. So the closing date on your contract is what they have.

Now, they have always tried to decide in the 30 days...except last year it was taking 5 to 6 week. But we seem to be back within the 30 days for most.
