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

[Andy1968]

I'm not saying to offer a monumentally higher price. I'm saying to look at the highest price taken by ROFR recently, and then possibly offer a few dollars more. It certainly wouldn't guarantee that you wouldn't get taken, but it would substantially increase the odds you'd pass. Almost every new resale falls within this range anyway, even after a reasonable negotiation. Its the outlying lower priced contracts that are easy targets. You're right, Disney doesn't buy every contract, and its possible you can sneak through, but they've been buying, and will continue to buy a whole lot of them, and for some its just not worth the stress.
I've read so many posts of by folks who find an almost too good to be true deal, it gets taken, and many subsequently say they wish they had paid just a little more to help it pass. And it still would have been an amazing deal, but they'd actually have it.

That is what we did after loosing this last resale. We looked until we found one that we new had a much safer price instead of a "deal" price on it.[/QUOTE]

Maybe I misinterpreted your earlier post, I thought you meant offering above what the sellers were asking for.

Congratulations! I think you need to redo the string with the passed date to get it moved from waiting to passed on the first page

No, I wouldn’t do that. But sellers aren’t budging much, and sometimes not at all, on a vast majority of contracts out there because supply is so limited.

Thank you! I will do

Looking at an Aulani contract, 300 points, next points coming 9/22. Listed for 129, offered 115, counter at 122. I know prices are higher right now.....just seems high to me... big sigh

Aulani direct, with the current promotion would cost $171/pp. Resale at $122/pp is still a 28% discount. If it matches your use year and needs, it’s still worth. Aulani is an amazing property that’s been underpriced in the resale market for too long I think.

Appreciate the feedback, the direct vs resale price is a good reminder.

There was a 150 point subsidized dues Aulani contract with my use year a month ago that was listed for $150pp. I offered 135pp and was refused. No counter offer or anything. It eventually sold to someone else. Now I wish I just offered the asking price because the initial upfront cost wouldn‘t have mattered in the long run. In this tight sellers market, when you see something you like, you just gotta pounce on it!

That was me too! After my $106pp AKV got taken in ROFR it set me back 3+ weeks from planning our next trip. So with my next try, I was willing to increase it.
